the school curriculum
Everything that your child learns at school contributes to the curriculum. Hunter’s Bar Infant School seeks to deliver a broad and balanced curriculum to enable children of all abilities irrespective of gender, class, cultural background, and ethnic origin to realise their full potential.
The Early Years Foundation Stage and National Curriculum - in outline
There are four Key Stages of school:
Foundation Stage
The Foundation Stage encompasses the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum for children aged 3-5 years. This is therefore the curriculum for children in their first year at Hunter’s Bar Infant School. The Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum consists of the following six Areas of Learning:
- Personal, social and emotional development
- Communication, language and literacy
- Mathematical development
- Knowledge and understanding of the world
- Physical development
- Creative development
During their time in the Foundation Stage, children are working towards the Early Learning Goals in each of the above areas of learning. Practitioners working with your child in their reception class continually assess them against the criteria found in the Foundation Stage Profile. These profiles are shared with parents during termly meetings with the class teacher.
