All pupils in Reception and Key Stage 1 access a play-based curriculum. The curriculum is designed around the guiding and statutory principles set out in ‘Development Matters’. The content of the curriculum is planned and delivered in line with the statutory education programme for EYFS using an appropriately informal theme-based approach. 

The key to EYFS progression is teaching children to learn how to learn so that they can have the appropriate grounding for all their subsequent experiences and learning as they move through the school.
