EYFS Curriculum

Intent
At Broomfield Primary, the EYFS curriculum is designed to recognise children’s prior learning from previous settings and their experiences at home, provide first hand learning experiences, whilst allowing the children to build resilience, ambition and integrity. Every child is recognised as a unique individual, and we celebrate and welcome differences within our school community. We provide enhancement opportunities to engage learning and believe that our first experiences of school should be happy and positive, enabling us to develop a lifelong love of learning. All children begin school with a variety of experiences and learning.
All practitioners working in Reception take on the task of building upon this prior learning and experience. This is done through a holistic approach to learning ensuring that parents/carers, teaching assistants and teachers work effectively together to support children’s learning and development.
Aims of our Early Years Foundation Stage
- To provide a stable, caring, stimulating and challenging environment, in which all children gain confidence, self-esteem and independence.
- To nurture a strong partnership with parents, carers and professionals.
- To provide a structured, exciting, purposeful and relevant curriculum that is planned around the individual needs and interests of the children.
- To support learning with appropriate and accessible indoor and outdoor provision.
- To fulfil assessment, recording and reporting of children’s progress to parents and the local education authority.
- To have regard for the SEND Code of Practice when addressing the needs of those children who may have special needs.
- To provide equal opportunities and anti-discriminatory practice for all children, ensuring every child is included and not disadvantaged because of ethnicity, culture or religion, home language, family background, learning difficulties, disabilities or gender.
