Early Years Curriculum

Learning in Early Years
 
In Early Years the curriculum focuses on 7 areas-
  • Personal, Social and Emotional Development
  • Communication and Language 
  • Physical Development
  • Literacy
  • Mathematics
  • Understanding the World
  • Expressive Arts and Design
Within these areas there are 17 Early Learning Goals (ELG). Children complete a baseline assessment at the beginning of reception and are assessed again against the early learning goals in the summer term. 
For each ELG, teachers must judge whether a child is:
  • meeting the level of development expected at the end of the Early Years Foundation Stage (expected) or
  • not yet reaching this level (emerging). 
An Early Years Profile for each child is completed and results given to parents. We use Class Dojo to engage with parents and to share learning and WOW moments.
