EYFS

 

'All children deserve the care and support they need to have the best start in life. Children learn and develop at a faster rate from birth to five years old than at any other time in their lives, so their experiences in early years have a major impact on their future life chances. A secure, safe, and happy childhood is important in its own right. Good parenting and high-quality early learning provide the foundation children need to fulfil their potential.' (DfE 2025). 

 

Our teachers are Kirsty and Beth

Other adults helping us are Natalie, Keeley, Laura, Dawn, Maxine, Jess, Rachael, Catherine and Kayleigh

 

Our children follow the informal or pre-semi formal curriculum and our learning is centred around the following key areas - 

 

Cognition and Learning 

Communication and Language

Social, Emotional and Mental Health 

Physical and Sensory 

Independence and Self-Help 
 

We follow a play based curriculum and learn in many ways. We have lots of adult and child-led play based activities to provide meaningful opportunities to develop our skills. We have personalised sensory regulation plans and behaviour regulation plans to enable us to stay focused and regulated throughout the day. We spend lots of time working on our communication such as participating in sensory stories, Intensive Interaction, PECS and Makaton. 

 

Our progress and achievements are recorded in our class floor book, individual learning journeys and through Evidence For Learning. We also share our exciting adventures on Class Dojo and on our class page below

Our key text for the Autumn2 Term is 

PSHE & Life Skills

We teach and support Life skills and PSHE through whole class lessons, class routines and experiences in the local community.

Life skills include; Functional self help skills, social skills, and vocational skills.

PSHE include; Rules and responsibilities, relationships, health and wellbeing, staying safe and Money.

These are through both the curriculum expectations and identified individual needs on ILPs

In addition, as a school we have our 5 Healthy Aims which we work hard every day to achieve.
