"Our children and families are at the heart of everything that we do"

Curriculum Progression Mapping

The Early Years Foundation Stage is broken down into seven areas of learning. Three of these areas are Prime Areas and four of these areas are Specific Areas. 

 

Our curriculum has been written and designed by our highly expert staff, using research, training and professional knowledge. Each area of learning has aspects and clearly shows the knowledge and skills we want children to learn at each stage. Here is an example of some of our curriculum. If you want to discuss and know more about the curriculum, contact the school, and ask for Louise Phillips.
