Foundation Phase

FOUNDATION PHASE (3 to 7yrs)

The Foundation Phase at Llanharan Primary School includes children from Nursery to Year 2 and places great emphasis on children “learning by doing”. Our youngest pupils are given more opportunities to gain first-hand experiences through play and active involvement which focus on exciting learning activities both indoors & outdoors. There are seven areas of learning:

  • Personal and social development, well-being and cultural diversity
  • Language, literacy and communication skills
  • Mathematical development
  • Welsh Language development
  • Knowledge and understanding of the world
  • Physical development
  • Creative development

The Foundation Phase Framework document outlines this in more detail.

The Welsh Government has also prouced a guide for parents.
