School Curriculum Drivers

• Equality
• Economic well-being

How does our EYFS curriculum prepare the children for the R-A-I-S-E Curriculum from Year 1?

• A safe place to learn
• Secure relationships with loving adults who nurture and care for the children
• A love of learning
• Inquisitive learners – igniting the flame of learning and inspiring interests
• Resilient learners – we learn from our mistakes
• Challenges are part of every day
• Listening and attention – we instil positives attitudes to learning
• The ability to question
• Rich vocabulary & language – we believe children as young as 3 years can learn, understand and remember technical and high-level vocabulary e.g. metamorphosis, gastropod
• Retention of powerful knowledge – our teaching sequences revisit skills and knowledge daily
• Foundation skills in non-core NC subjects
• Reading and phonics are given high priority – daily literacy, phonics, story-time, lowest 20% readers
• Firm foundations in the basic maths skills – we love maths and believe maths is everywhere

 “Train up a child in the way they should go, and when they are old they will not depart from it.”

Proverbs 22 v6
