EYFS at Sandhill Primary
The EYFS Leader is Mrs N Manley
At Sandhill Primary School our curriculum is designed with our children’s needs and interests at heart!
Our EYFS curriculum follows the statutory guidance EYFS Framework 2023 and includes the characteristics of effective teaching and learning. The characteristics highlight the importance of a child’s attitude to learning and their ability to play, explore and think critically about the world around them. With this always at the front of our minds, we plan and deliver a themed approach to teaching and learning through half termly ‘text drivers’. Our direct teaching is supported by high quality, purposeful provision which enables all of our learners to extend and embed their knowledge across the curriculum.
We build on children’s prior learning, provide first hand learning experiences, support the children develop interpersonal skills, build resilience, perseverance, independence and become creative, critical thinkers.
The work and the opportunities that we provide for children and the way this is organised and presented to them is crucial for successful learning now and in the future. As such, the curriculum is a very important part of our school. We review our curriculum and our text drivers regularly because we want children to enjoy learning because it is relevant to them, linked to current events and to be inspired to learn new knowledge and vocabulary.
