The EYFS Curriculum

The EYFS learning experience is based on the EYFS 2021 framework and is supported by the non-statutory guidance of ‘Birth to 5 Matters’. It includes:

• The seven areas of learning and development;

• High-quality, age-appropriate observation and assessment opportunities that inform future planning;

• Specialist teaching and learning in Learning Technologies (LT), Music, Physical Education (PE) and Mandarin;

• A strong focus on language development through quality interactions and a language-rich environment;

• A strong focus on self-regulation and executive function to build strong foundations for learning and development as the children move into Key Stage 1;

• The Early Learning Goals (ELGs), which summarise the knowledge, skills and understanding that all young children should have gained by the end of FS-2.
