oUR content FOR OUR Early years

Our Early Years setting follows the curriculum as set out in the statutory framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) that applies from September 2021. The Eyfs framework includes 7 areas of learning and development which are equally important and interconnected, We have a broad and balanced curriculum plan which we refine dependent upon the cohorts each year. Learning takes place inside and outside. There is a balance between adult – initiated experiences, guided teaching, guided learning and child – initiated experiences. Adults take children’s interests and strengths as a starting point.

end of year expectations

This page provides information for parents and carers on the end of year expectations for Reception children in our school.
These expectations have been identified as being the minimum requirements your child must meet in order to ensure continued progress throughout the following year, Year 1. All objectives will be worked on throughout the year and some will be the focus of direct teaching. Any extra support you can provide in helping your child to achieve these is greatly valued.
If you have any queries regarding the content of the page or would like to discuss the best way to support your child, please talk to your child’s teacher.
