Reception Curriculum
By the end of Year 6 our aim is for our children to be compassionate, courageous, persevering, and well-informed citizens of the world and to live life in all its fullness in their community. The very beginnings of this start in the Early Years.
“Teach children how they should live, and they will remember it all their lives.” Proverbs 22:6. In the Early Years, we want our children to be kind, to cooperate, regulate their emotions, know that their voice is valued, be able to articulate themselves and listen to others and develop their independence. It is vital to us that children have a sense of belonging and this is rooted in their locality and community. We want children to find the joy in the diversity of our world.
By the end of the Early Years, children will have gained the skills, attitudes and passion to be able to learn and access the National Curriculum. They will have the confidence to have a go and know that making mistakes is how we learn and they do this within the parameters of a broad, balanced and ambitious curriculum. Our vision is for children to quickly develop a love of reading and language which will unlock the world of learning.
We have high expectations for all our children so that they can access the next stage of learning through meeting key identified milestones and the Early Learning Goals. We are tenacious in our approach to learning so that nothing is left to chance.
