The Revised Early Years Curriculum 2021
and Development Matters
This year the new revised Early Years Curriculum has become statutory. There are some changes particularly regarding the end of Year R goals which are called "The Early Learning Goals". It is hoped that the children will achieve the Early Learning Goals at an "Expected" level by the end of the Reception Year.
Development Matters is a document which we will also be using to support us in delivering the new Curriculum and this has also been updated this year.
You can find copies or links to both of these documents on our "Curriculum" section of the Parents tab page.

Online Learning Journal "Tapestry"
While your child is at school with us in their Reception Year, we use an online learning journal called Tapestry. This is a secure online Learning Journal to record photos, observations and comments, in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum. It builds up a record of your child's experiences during their time with us. You as parents and carers are asked to join and access this Journal and add to it yourselves, just like we do at school! The Reception Class is the last year in the Foundation stage and it is important to build up a complete rounded picture of your child at school and at home. This information then feeds into the assessment at the end of the year against the Early Learning Goals.
(Further information about Tapestry will be sent out to you when your child starts with us in September but in the meantime if you would like to look into it further click on the picture link below.)
