EYFS

Every child deserves the best start in life. We are all aware that children do not begin school on a level playing field, and we have all seen the gap in our classrooms between those who have lots of prior life experience, and those with little.

Our aim is to provide our youngest pupils with the tools that they need to establish a strong sense of identity and to feel empowered by the knowledge they have of the world around them. Our EYFS curriculum have been carefully written to spark pupils’ curiosity and to develop their oral language, communication and comprehension through engaging, high-quality teaching resources. We want to enrich and widen their vocabulary, so that they can confidently and effectively think, reason, argue, and participate in the important conversations in life.

The EYFS resources fit into the whole school approach to curriculum design and provide children with both the substantive and disciplinary knowledge that they need to become confident, powerful and inquisitive learners. Our materials support staff in building a strong foundation of learning for our youngest pupils, and to encourage a seamless transition to Key Stage 1 and later, Key Stage 2.
