Introducing Continuous Provision into KS1
Make the Right Start
If Continuous Provision is not currently a feature of your Y1 or Y2 classrooms, getting started can seem like a daunting task. Where to begin? Which areas to include? How to set it up?
Space is often at a premium in a KS1 classroom. It may well be that you are not able to include all of the different provision areas but instead need to prioritise according to the needs of your children and what will work best in your classroom.
A smaller number of well-resourced areas, with enough space for a small group of children to work in, is far better than a large number of poorly resourced areas.
Make the Most of Resources Already in your School
Maths, Writing, Book, Art and Workshop Areas can often be established using resources that are already in school but you will need to carefully plan how you might define and organise these.
Choose one area at a time and develop it well. Consider how best to present the resources in their specific provision area. Carefully identify the learning intentions, progression, vocabulary, recording opportunities and the role of the adult.
Use our KS1 Audit tool to get started
Deepen learning & secure mastery of the KS1 curriculum
Ensure resources are well organised, clearly labelled, & accessible
Make the Right Investment to Unlock the Curriculum
To support your development of provision areas that are not so readily available in school, these carefully designed Starter Packs will purposefully transform learning.
With a choice of three solutions, these high quality, curated collections enable you to be confident of strong connections to the KS1 curriculum, provide rich and meaningful contexts for KS1 learning and ensure continuity and progression from EYFS.
Available in three sizes, you can choose either just the resource collections - or the complete solution to include furniture and storage too.
“With the complete collections we’ve seen an instant increase in pupil engagement! The learning environments are truly inspiring, the children are becoming more independent learners and transition into KS1 is much more effective.”
Louise Worrell, Headteacher Spaldwick Primary School ACES Academies Trust
