EYFS
Across our EYFS, we follow the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage (2025). This framework states that the Early Years Curriculum is split into 7 areas of learning. The areas are as follows:
3 prime areas of learning:
Communication and Language (listening, attention and understanding and speaking)
Physical development (gross and fine motor skills)
Personal, social and emotional development (being able to self-regulate impulses, manage their self and build relationships with others)
4 specific areas of learning
Literacy (the development of comprehension skills, early reading and early writing)
Maths (the development of early number and understanding numerical patterns)
Understanding the world (which includes early geography, history, science and RE)
Expressive arts and design (which includes music, dance and art)
At Broadstone Hall Primary School, language is the foundation of children’s thinking and learning. Our EYFS curriculum places a strong focus on communication skills and pupils’ acquisition of basic skills in reading, writing and maths whilst developing the whole child. The curriculum includes the teaching of religious education and age-appropriate relationship education.
