Personal, Social and Emotional Development helps children to feel safe, secure and ready to learn. In EYFS, we support children to build positive relationships, develop confidence, understand their feelings and learn how to manage themselves within a group. Through clear routines, nurturing support and opportunities to work and play together, children begin to develop independence, resilience, empathy and respect for others. These foundations are vital for both wellbeing and lifelong learning.

Intent

Our intent is to help children become confident, resilient and independent learners who feel safe, valued and ready to engage with school life. We want children to build positive relationships, manage their feelings appropriately, show empathy and develop the self-belief needed to flourish.
