Our EYFS Curriculum is carefully planned and well-sequenced to enable all children to make progress by knowing more, understanding more and being able to do more. Our practitioners plan activities and experiences that enable children to develop and learn effectively. We think carefully about what children already know and can do when deciding what to teach first and support children with gaps in their knowledge so they can access the same curriculum as their peers. We recognise that communication and language are vital for young children to develop and know that early interactions are crucial to children’s language development. We provide an environment that promotes and supports young children’s language and communication through frequent, high quality back and forth interaction, building children’s vocabulary by commenting on what they are doing, reading to children and engaging them in stories, rhymes and songs, modelling vocabulary and asking questions.
Ensuring children have the very best start to their education is incredibly important. Our EYFS curriculum is the building block of our whole school curriculum. We build on the knowledge and skills children learn in the EYFS as they make their way through our school.
