Early Years and Foundation Stage Curriculum

At Chandos Primary School, we fully embrace the four guiding principles which shape the EYFS curriculum:

• All children are unique and constantly learning.  They should be resilient, capable, confident and self-assured;

• Positive relationships encourage children to be strong and independent.

• Enabling environments, in which children's experiences meet their individual needs and interests, help them to build their learning over time.  Children benefit from a strong partnership between practitioners and parents and/or carers.

• Children develop and learn in different ways and at different rates.
  The framework covers the education and care of all children in early  years provision, including children with special educational needs and disabilities.

There are seven areas of learning and development

These 7 areas are used to plan your child’s learning and activities. The professionals teaching and supporting your child will make sure that activities are suited to your child’s unique needs. They are designed to be really flexible so that staff can follow your child's needs and interests.

The Prime Areas

Personal, social and emotional development 

Communication and language

The Specific Areas

Children in the EYFS learn by playing and exploring, being active, and through creative and critical thinking, which takes place both indoors and outside.
