Our Reception Curriculum

We will be planning lots of exciting activities during the year.

Year Group Lion Knowledge Boards

Subject Leaders with staff have developed Year Group 'Lion Knowledge Boards'.  These drive the curriculum planning for each teacher, explicitly providing the core 'Knowledge of: Vocabulary, People, Places and Events, Concepts and Procedures'.  These Knowledge Boards are linked here: Knowledge Boards

Year Group Curriculum Planning

Each Year Group takes the Thematics, Knowledge Boards and Subject Accountability for National Curriculum to develop a well co-ordinated, sequenced curriculum for the classroom.  The Year Group Curriculum Planning can be viewed in our Google Drive here:  Reception Curriculum Folder

Subject Specific Accountability to Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum

Our teaching is based on the requirements of the EYFS Statutory Requirments as outlined below:

The Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum is based around seven areas of learning and development which are equally important and interconnected.  There are three prime areas which underpin the others igniting children's curiosity and enthusiasm for learning, developing their capacity to learn, form relationships and thrive.

• Communication and Language
• Physical Development
• Personal, social and Emotional

These areas are strengthened and applied in four specific areas;

• Literacy
• Mathematics
• Understanding the World
• Expressive Arts and Design

The EYFS (Phase 1) comply with the statutory requirements, including the welfare requirments, which can be found here:EYFS Statutory Requirements

We follow the Liverpool Diocese Syllabus for Religious Education.
