EYFS/Key Stage 1

Foundation, Years 1 and 2; ages 5 years to 7 years

Through a multi-sensory approach the pupils follow the EYFS/Key Stage 1 curriculum at their own pace, learning through play and practical activities to find their place within the school community and the world around them.

Key Stage 1 long term plan

Our long term plan provides an overview of the themes that will be used to deliver learning.

  • EYFS Long Term Plan
  • Key Stage 1 Long Term Plan

All pupils within EYFS are learning at Explore and Foundation level (pre subject specific learning). In Key Stage 1 there will be some pupils who are starting to develop subject specific learning skills – Core and Application.

Knowledge organisers are used to create ‘The Big Ideas’ for learning – concrete experiences that will support pupils to develop their skills for learning and subject specific knowledge. They also identify the language that will be used to support learning (at a group level). We use the routes of learning (learning sequence) to make sure that the skills for learning are embedded before moving on to the next steps.
