In brief...A petition seeking to protect the Foundation Stage
Wednesday, August 29, 2001
A petition seeking to protect the Foundation Stage, with its clear emphasis on learning through play, from the more formal approach of the national literacy and numeracy strategies, has attracted several hundred signatures from all types of early years practitioners, as well as parents and school governors. Early years consultant Margaret Edgington, who launched the petition in June, expects to win more support early in the new school term.
