| Early Years The curriculum for our Early Years classes is based on the Government’s Foundation Stage Curriculum Guidance. It is sub-divided into six areas of learning: ∙ Personal, social and emotional development ∙ Communication, language and literacy ∙ Mathematical development ∙ Knowledge and Understanding of the world ∙ Physical development ∙ Creative development The areas of topics will be linked to short topics. Shortly after the children have settled into school, the Early Years Team will assess the children to find out about their knowledge and abilities, so that each child’s learning needs can be met. This assessment takes place through normal, everyday class activities and the children are unaware of the process. Parents and children will have the opportunity to discuss the assessment and other areas of your child’s development at the Autumn Parent Consultation Meeting.
Year 1 – Year 4 The children in these years will study units in the following subjects in the National Curriculum Core subjects: English Maths Science
