Curriculum
Our Early Years Team work hard to ensure that every child develops a genuine love of learning and achieves their full potential. We have built a holistic, creative curriculum which endeavours to foster an enthusiastic, curious and creative community of learners who embrace challenge, are resilient and have high expectations of themselves and of others. We value the unique needs and interests of every child and ensure that our curriculum holds their ideas at its heart.
Our curriculum and its flexibility aims to inspire and embed a love of learning. A balance of child and adult initiated tasks embed and reinforce skills and knowledge through an exciting and holistic approach. Children are encouraged to use language creatively and confidently, they develop strong fine and gross motor skills through a range of practical, first-hand experiences and have many opportunities to develop a strong sense of self and establish excellent relationships with others in a caring and nurturing environment.
Our day consists of a balance of teacher led and Play to Learn sessions-through which the children explore the provision, building upon their intrinisc interests. We use adult led activities to enhance our teaching, themes and to support learning and development. The children will access all of the areas of the classroom and our outdoor area each day.
Our Curriculum comprises of varied lines of enquiry which can be further enhanced by elements within the children's interests. Please see our Curriculum Plan and subject Specific Knowledge Organsiers.
We follow Read Write Inc Phonics daily-which will start in Week 3 of the Autumn term. In the initial weeks we will be getting to know the children, making baseline assessments and learning new routines.
