The Early Years Curriculum (EYFS)

Our curriculum is based upon the standards set in the statutory EYFS Framework (2021) and supported by the non-statutory guidance of Development Matters (2021) alongside knowledge of our children, families, and local communities. We use the seven areas of Learning and Development to shape our curriculum. All these areas are important and interconnected. They are divided into prime and specific areas:

Prime Areas

• Communication and Language
• Physical Development
• Personal, Social and Emotional Development

Specific Areas

• Literacy
• Mathematics
• Understanding the World
• Expressive Arts and Design
