Welcome Note
For many parents, the idea of sending their child to ‘big school’ is a daunting concept. Part of you feels excited, the other part feels sad. However, as the time comes, rest assured that at Safa Community School, our prime focus is to provide our children with a safe, caring and supportive environment.
Children at Safa Community School are noticeably confident, happy and inquisitive as they are encouraged to guide their exploration, engage in a play-based learning environment and explore concepts that are of interest to them as individuals.
This journey is not completed without partnership with parents, which is a key focus for us. We value and respect the knowledge our parent community holds for their individual child.
The child is always at the centre of our practice, supporting teachers and families in ensuring every child has the best start in life is a privilege.
I look forward to welcoming you into the Safa Family.

In the Early Years, we focus on fostering a love and excitement for learning at a young age while instilling a growth mindset, a passion for following their interests and leading their own learning.
Our aim is to nurture each individual child, finding and enhancing their strengths as well as supporting them to develop new skills. It is important that we encourage children to reach their full potential by taking individual needs, learning styles and interests into account through a play based approach to learning.
At SCS, children learn through exploration and play in our stimulating, exciting and well-resourced indoor and outdoor environments. Each Early Years classroom boasts a generously proportioned outside terrace that spans the length of the classroom and affords every class with instant access to the outdoors.
Our skilled Early Years practitioners plan enabling environments with a strong emphasis on using natural and familiar materials to explore, learn and play. Children are encouraged to take ownership over their environment with lots of opportunities for self-selection. Environments are warm, nurturing and inviting to ensure happy and settled learners.
Flexi FS1 Classes
The aim of the Flex-FS1 programme is to make the children’s journey into a formal educational environment easy, fun-filled and stress-free for parents. Every child progresses at a different rate and there should be no rush or anxiety for the parents to acclimatise their child into the school experience. The Flexi-FS1 stream is conceptualised to provide parents with exactly this flexibility while also providing them the option of switching to the mainstream when they feel their child is ready.
This is a parallel stream of FS1 that will have significantly more flexibility for the parents/children who need it. The flexi-FS1 will give parents the flexibility to:
- Choose a 3 day option of Monday, Tuesday and Thursday for Term 1-2
- Choose a 4 day option of Monday-Thursday for Term 1-2
- Further supporting their children into full time education by Term 3.
Please note that all children will need to attend 5 days in the final term as they prepare for FS2.
