Early Years
Our EYFS framework
EYFS does not separate learning into rigid subjects, but instead follows the seven areas of learning in the EYFS framework.
Prime areas of learning:
- Communication and language: Through conversations, storytelling and songs to develop vocabulary and confidence.
- Physical development: Including fine and gross motor activities, from mark-making to outdoor play.
- Personal, social and emotional development: Encouraging friendships, emotional regulation/resilience and independence.
Specific Areas of Learning:
- Literacy: Phonics, early reading and mark-making, supported through high-quality texts and storytelling.
- Mathematics: Play-based activities that introduce numbers, patterns, shapes and problem-solving, using our school Concrete Pictorial and Abstract approach.
- Understanding the world: Exploring nature, people and communities, past and present events, and the wider world through active learning and hands-on experiences.
- Expressive arts and design: Using music, role play, arts, crafts and construction to develop creativity.
All areas are covered through a mixture of adult-led and play-based learning, real-world experiences, and a carefully planned curriculum that follows children's interests and developmental needs.
We go above and beyond to provide an exceptional EYFS experience. Our EYFS setting provides the foundation for a happy, successful learning journey, ensuring children leave Reception confident, capable and excited about the next stage of their education.Cigdem Duztepe, Director of EYFS
