Information for parents/carers on the EYFS curriculum
Throughout the Reception year we:
- work towards the Early Learning Goals which children need to achieve by the end of the year to make a good start in Year 1.
- help children develop the EYFS Characteristics of Effective Learning which will help them throughout school.
- use the Development Matters non-statutory curriculum guidance for the EYFS.
- follow a structured Curriculum Map (see top of page) covering all areas of learning with a focus on vocabulary, reading and language skills.
- build on prior learning and teach skills in order to ensure progression throughout the year.
