Investors in Children Quality Assurance Scheme Accreditation

It has been announced that we are one of the first in Gloucestershire to be accredited by an Investors in Children Quality Assurance scheme. The school has achieved the Bristol Standard Quality Assurance for the Foundation Stage teaching within the school. The philosophy underpinning the Foundation Stage curriculum is in line with the ethos of the school, which is that learning should be carefully planned and structured, with an emphasis on activities that are fun, relevant and motivating for each child.

      The Foundation Stage Curriculum is organised into the following six areas of learning:

• Personal, social and emotional development
• Communication, language and literacy
• Mathematical development
• The development of knowledge and understanding of the world
• Physical development and
• Creative development.

Our ethos has always been to provide all children with the appropriate challenges and support; this accreditation formally recognises that the school is delivering the Foundation Stage curriculum in a way that supports children's learning through planned play and extending and developing children's spontaneous play.

This is a significant achievement by the school and recognises the wonderful start in education that children get at North Cerney.

Congratulations to Mrs Farrington and Mrs Anderson.
