Year R

Our Aim:

To provide the Statutory Framework as set out below in a safe, fun and happy learning environment.

 

“The Early Years Foundation Stage promotes teaching and learning to ensure children’s ‘school readiness’ and gives children the broad range of knowledge and skills, providing a good foundation for future progress through school and life” (DfE Statutory Framework for the EYFS)

 

In Year R all children are taught in accordance with the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum in the following areas:

 

The 3 prime areas are:

• Personal, Social and Emotional Development
• Communication and Language
• Physical Development
   

The 4 specific areas are:

• Literacy
• Mathematics
• Understanding the World
• Expressive Arts and Design
   

A strong emphasis is placed on child initiated learning through the importance of play to reinforce all areas of learning. We believe that role-play and drama have a significant and positive impact on children’s learning and this is, therefore, included regularly in the teaching of the Early Years subjects.

 

What we do:

The children learn through a mix of teacher led, enhanced and child initiated activities. Please click below for details of the curriculum we teach throughout Year R.
