Intent
New Bolsover Primary School believes that every child deserves the best possible start in life, and the support that enables them to fulfil their potential. We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) which sets the standards to ensure that children learn and develop well and are kept healthy and safe. We promote teaching and learning to ensure children are school ready and give children a broad range of knowledge and skills that provide the right foundation for good future progress through school and life.
Implementation
Following the EYFS curriculum, we plan for;
- Quality and consistency across the early years setting
- A secure foundation through planning for the learning and development of each and every child
- Partnership working between practitioners and parents/carers
- Equal opportunities to ensure every child is included and supported.
Day after day, we’re shaping happy, confident and resilient learners who discover through their play.
The curriculum plans through Prime areas;
- communication and language

and Specific areas;

Within these areas of learning we plan to meet the individual developmental needs of the children and provide a challenging and enjoyable experience for each child in all areas of learning. A particular importance is the developing of language and extending children’s vocabulary.
Phonics and Early Reading
From reception onwards, children start the Little Wandle, Letters and Sounds revised scheme of work. Children are taught sounds and words enabling them to blend and read words and sentences independently. (See English page)
