Roots of my subject














It is important that subject leaders, who may not be teaching within Early Years, are familiar with the curriculum content within EYFS. For example, if you are a geography lead, you will need to know how your subject develops in the Early Years, so you will need to talk to Early Years teachers about Understanding the World and how geography is being introduced. Which places do they learn about? Which maps do they use? Important conceptual understanding begins to develop in the Early Years such as spatial sense and chronological understanding.
Subject leaders need to know how their subject works from Early Years through to Key Stage Two.
