The Early Years Foundation Stage

We are early adopters of the revised EYFS framework, 2020-21.

Under The Early Years Foundation Stage (Exemption from Learning and Development Requirements) and Childcare (Exemption from Registration) (Amendment) Regulations 2020, the Secretary of State for Education grants exemption from the following sections of the 2017 Early Years Foundation Stage statutory framework:

• The educational programmes under EYFS paragraph 1.5; and

• The early learning goals set out on pages 10 to 12 of the EYFS; and

• The requirements set out in paragraph 2.6 to 2.11 of the EYFS relating to Assessments and moderation at the end of the reception year – the Early Years Foundation Stage Profile – which requires settings to complete the Profile and submit the same to the local authority.

We will instead follow in full the EYFS reforms early adopter framework (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/early-adopter-schools-eyfs-framework).

Early Years education focuses on seven areas of learning. The first three are known as the prime areas of learning and these are followed by the four specific areas of learning. 

Communication and language

Physical development

Personal, social and emotional development

Literacy

Mathematics

Expressive arts and design

Understanding the world
