Class Curriculum Overviews

Reception Class 

The curriculum is delivered using a play-based approach as outlined by the EYFS. Children are provided with a range of rich, meaningful first-hand experiences in which they explore, think creatively and are active. We aim to develop and foster positive attitudes towards learning, confidence, communication and physical development.

As a team, we use observations and assessments to offer learning experiences in all seven areas of the EYFS curriculum. We identify the children’s interests to create an overall theme which makes the learning meaningful and purposeful.

We would like you to share your child’s learning with us too. If they have done anything out of school that you are proud of and would like us to include in their learning journey books, please complete a ‘WOW’ letter (on the reverse of the weekly Letter Link) and send it into school with your child. We would also love to see certificates, photographs, models etc. This information will enable us to plan the next steps for learning for your child, as well as giving them a great sense of pride to share their achievements with their friends and teachers.
