In Reception, we aim to provide a broad and balanced curriculum for your child based on the recommendations of the Early Years Foundation Stage.
The curriculum supports your child in seven key areas of their development:
• Communication and Language
• Physical Development
• Personal, Social and Emotional Development
• Literacy
• Mathematics
• Understanding of the World
• Expressive Arts and Design
The children follow a synthetic phonic scheme and Literacy activities lay the foundations for listening, talking, reading and writing. Mathematical activities include calculating; identifying patterns and sequences; shape; sorting; information handling and problem solving. The majority of the Reception curriculum is facilitated through play, with a variety of resources. French is also introduced in Reception and continues throughout the school.
If you are concerned that we are not meeting the requirements of the EYFS, please raise this directly with us. If you cannot resolve matters with us, you can contact Ofsted on 0300 123 4666 or write to Ofsted, Piccadilly Gate, Store Street, Manchester M1 2WD.
