Progression in Early Years

Children make exceptional progress throughout their time in Reception Class. The Early Years Curriculum at Gurnard has been carefully planned to scaffold children in their development as they move through the year, and successfully prepare them for Key Stage One.

Through careful planned progression, we have ensured that children are able to build on skills as they move through the year, and we are able to offer the children a wide range of experiences and drops of knowledge along the way. Below you can see the learning intentions for each area of learning over the year, we have developed learning themes to help introduce the children to new experiences, knowledge and learning through quality texts.
