EYFS Intent Vision
By the end of EYFS, we want all our children to have experienced a broad and balanced curriculum that offers new experiences, follows our children’s interests and allows them to reach their full potential; in a language rich learning environment that ensures they feel safe and happy at school. We want them to be equipped with the skills to continue their learning, with dreams and aspirations for the future.
Early Years Foundation Stage
Early Years children have a curriculum, which meets the requirements set out in the Early Years Foundation Stage Statutory Framework. There are 7 areas of learning.
Three Prime Areas:
-
Communication and Language
-
Physical Development
-
Personal, Social and Emotional Development
Four Specific Areas:
-
Literacy

The curriculum is taught in a very hands on way and develops children’s exploration and independence skills.
All children have the opportunity for learning through child initiated activities in the indoor and outdoor environment, adult led activities and direct teaching time.
Our Learning in EYFS
The Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum supports children's learning through play based experiences across seven key areas, helping them build the skills they need for school and for life.
Communication, Language and Speaking supports children in listening, understanding and speaking. It helps develop their vocabulary, express ideas and needs, and take part in conversations.
Personal, Social and Emotional Development helps the children build their confidence, manage their feelings and form positive relationships. It supports skills like sharing, turn taking and independence.
Physical Development helps the children build strength, coordination and control through active play and movement. It also supports fine motor skills such as using tools and holding a pencil, as well as learning healthy habits.
Literacy supports children in developing early reading and writing skills. It includes learning to enjoy stories, recognising sounds and letters and beginning to write words and simple sentences.
Mathematics helps children develop an understanding of numbers, counting and simple calculations. It also supports learning about shapes, patterns and measuring through everyday play activities.
Understanding the World helps children learn about people, places, nature and technology. It encourages curiosity as children explore their environment, ask questions and begin to understand the world around them.
Expressive Arts and Design supports the children in exploring creativity through art, music, movement and imaginative play. It helps them express their ideas and feelings while developing skills with different materials and tools
