In Early Years the children work towards achieving their Early Learning Goals in 7 key areas through continuous provision and active indoor and outdoor play. Early essential skills in phonics, reading, writing, speaking and listening and maths are practised and developed in readiness for the children moving into Year 1 and the Key Stage 1 National Curriculum.

In KS1 we run an enhanced provision model in which children complete rainbow challenges to support their learning across the National Curriculum subject areas. Progression of the skills and knowledge for each subject area are mapped out so that it is clear what the children will learn in each year group and to ensure all National Curriculum objectives are covered before the children move onto their junior school and into Key Stage 2.

The curriculum is varied where necessary in order to address the needs of all our pupils and the opportunity for revisiting concept’s or skills is fundamental, especially in the core subject areas, to enable children to consolidate and build upon their knowledge, skills and understanding.

Through the use of our learning platform Seesaw, children are able to share their independent learning with their teacher and families. This allows the children to take ownership of their learning, provide feedback to each other and celebrate their successes throughout their learning journeys.
