Important Information about the EYFS Curriculum
From our long term progression document above we break the year down into smaller steps and link them directly to themes and core texts. Our curriculum was designed by Early Years staff, curriculum leaders and the Year 1 team to ensure a fluid transition between the Early Years and Year 1.
Staff refine and reflect upon Medium term plans frequently and will make changes to the documents as required. Please see our Curriculum webpage for Receptions' coverage documentation.
