Early Years Curriculum​​​​​​​

In the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) classes, we aim to provide a broad, balanced and differentiated curriculum.

It addresses the children‘s social, emotional, physical, intellectual, moral and cultural development within a safe, secure and stimulating environment. 

Our curriculum enables the child to learn and develop skills, attitudes and understanding in these areas of learning: 

The prime areas being: 

  • Personal, Emotional and Social Development. (PSED) 
  • Communication and Language. (CL) 
  • Physical development. (PD)

The specific areas are: 

  • Mathematics. 
  • Literacy. 
  • Understanding the World 
  • Expressive Art and Design 

Throughout the EYFS we plan activities to give children learning experiences and opportunities to work towards the Early Learning Goals and prepare them for the National Curriculum. Teaching and learning will take place within the classroom, Learning Street and outside areas. Within these areas children will participate in a variety of activities, both adult led and independently.
