EYFS

All our pupils are entitled to a knowledge-rich curriculum where knowledge is valued, specified, well-sequenced and taught to be remembered. Our curriculum is designed to take pupils beyond the limits of their personal experiences and the classroom. Our aim is to provide our youngest pupils with the tools that they need to establish a strong sense of identity and to feel empowered by the knowledge they have of the world around them.  

The focus on vocabulary development throughout the EYFS ensures that pupils are ready to move into Year 1 at the end of the reception year. 

The Phonics Scheme used in our school is  Sounds-Write.
