Here is the EYFS Framework:
Curriculum Handbook
The curriculum handbook maps out our curriculum for the children across all areas of development, and progression through the Reception year.
YR Timetable
The timetable outlines what learning takes place when. In the EYFS there is a combination of purposeful play, and adult-led sessions.
Please see below, information on the Reception Baseline Assessment (RBA). This will take place within the first 6 weeks of the children starting Reception. The purpose is to provide a starting point for a new measure that will help to understand how schools are supporting pupils to make progress through the primary phase. It is short and practical assessment of early literacy, communication, language and mathematical skills.
