Exemption from the EYFS

Jeannine Manuel School is exempt from the Learning & Development requirements of the Statutory Framework for EYFS. This is because our pupils first learn to read and write in French, which conflicts with the EYFS literacy goals. Jeannine Manuel School continues to uphold high expectations for all the pupils working within the EYFS framework. The safeguarding and welfare requirements of the EYFS still apply.
