Reception and the Foundation Stage Curriculum

In the Nursery and Reception classes the children follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum. This involves activities and experiences for children in the following seven areas (the three areas in bold are considered the ‘prime’ areas of learning)

  • Communication and language development 
  • Physical development  
  • Personal, social and emotional development
  • Literacy development
  • Mathematics
  • Understanding the world
  • Expressive arts and design

Each of these areas has its own learning goals. By the end of Reception most children should have made significant progress towards achieving these goals.  At Merton Park children are encouraged to be independent learners in a safe and stimulating environment, including our fantastic outdoor learning area specifically designed for Early Years children.

 

 

For more practical information about starting in the Foundation Stage at Merton Park, please see our EYFS prospectus here.
