At Sproatley Endowed C of E Academy, we believe that the Early Years Foundation Stage has a huge potential for learning and creativity. We promote an environment of independence and imagination to enable our children to become competent and confident learners. At Sproatley Primary Academy, we recognise the significance of laying strong foundations for future learning. Children are given numerous opportunities to actively engage, explore, and ask questions. We place a strong emphasis on their social development, highlighting the importance of building relationships with peers, families, and teachers. Understanding the critical role of the environment, we follow the Development Matters Framework to guide our planning, assess progress, and define next steps.
Our learning environment is based on continuous provision, where opportunities are thoughtfully designed around the children’s interests. We ensure that learning is both exciting and creative, allowing children to progressively develop their skills in ways that inspire and engage them. Additionally, our carefully chosen topics further support their learning, sparking curiosity and deepening understanding. These topics align with the Key Stage 1 curriculum, ensuring that children gain the foundational knowledge and skills needed to thrive in the next stage of their education.
The EYFS Framework explains how and what your child will be learning to support their development.
They will be learning new skills, acquiring new knowledge and demonstrating their understanding through 7 areas of learning and development.
These 7 areas are used to plan your child’s learning and activities which are suited to your individual unique needs.
