At Monyash C of E  Primary School we provide a stimulating curriculum which engages and interests children in their learning.  The Primary Statutory Curriculum is divided into two parts: the Foundation Stage Curriculum (EYFS) and the National Curriculum.

 

The Foundation Stage Curriculum

We plan an exciting and challenging curriculum based on our observation of children's needs, interests and stages of development across the seven areas of learning to enable the children to achieve and exceed the early learning goals.  All of the seven areas of learning and development are important and inter-connected.

 

Three areas are particularly crucial for igniting children's curiosity and enthusiasm for learning, and for building their capacity to learn, form relationships and thrive:

 

• Communication and Language;

• Physical Development;

• Personal, Social and Emotional Development.

 

Children are also supported through four further specific areas, through which the three prime areas are strengthened and applied. The areas are:-

 

• Understanding the World;

• Expressive Arts and Design;

 

 

​When we teach phonics we use a government scheme called Letters and Sounds and Jolly Phonics which uses actions with sounds.  Letters and sounds aims to build children's speaking and listening skills as well as preparing children for learning to read by developing their phonic knowledge and skills
