Our curriculum at Telford Infant School provides children with exciting learning opportunities and goes beyond statutory requirements. We use a topic based approach which is creative, inspiring and memorable. Our curriculum also has a positive impact on children’s spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.

In Reception our curriculum follows guidance from the Development Matters in the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum. It underpins learning by supporting and promoting each child’s development both prime and specific areas.

The prime areas begin to develop quickly in response to relationships and experiences, and run through and support learning in all other areas. The prime areas continue to be fundamental throughout the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).

Personal, Social and Emotional Development
Communication and Language
Physical development

The specific areas include essential skills and knowledge. They grow out of the prime areas and provide important contexts for learning.

Literacy
Mathematics
Understanding the World
Expressive Arts and Design

The characteristics of effective learning are how children learn through engaging with other people and their environment.

Playing and exploring
Active learning
Creating and thinking critically

These underpin learning and development across all areas and support the child to remain an effective and motivated learner.

Reception Assessment 2022

Children are continually observed by the reception team to find out what they know and what they need to learn next. This is achieved through general observations as the children explore the learning opportunities provided in all the different area of the EYFS curriculum.

The Reception Baseline Assessment (RBA) is a short assessment, taken in the first six weeks in which a child starts reception. This is a statutory assessment for 2022.

In the summer term the EYFS Profile must be completed for each child. This assesses them against the Early Learning Goals and provides the year 1 teachers with a comprehensive picture of what your child can do and what their next steps are.

Please see the information below to find out more about assessment in reception.
