  • Early Years Foundation Stage Guidance
    Early Years Foundation Stage Guidance Introduction Every child deserves the best possible start in life and the support that enables them to fulfil their potential. Children develop quickly in the early years and a child’s experiences between birth and age five have a major impact on their future life chances. A secure, safe and happy childhood is important in its own right. Good parenting and high quality early learning together provide the foundation children need to make the most of their abilities and talents as they grow up. (Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage DfE March 2017) The Early Years Foundation Stage applies to children from birth to the end of Reception. In our school children can join us at the beginning of the school year in which they are four, and if we have places some children are able to join us the term after they turn three. Key Stage One begins for our children at the beginning of Year One. We believe that the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum is important in its own right and for preparing children for later schooling. It reflects the fact that children change and develop more rapidly in the first five years than at any other stage of their life. In order to ensure continuity and to enable each child to reach their full potential, we make a clear commitment to ensuring that the transition between pre-school and Nursery and Reception is made smoothly, so laying secure foundations for future learning. The early years education we offer is based upon The Early Years Foundation Stage statutory framework leading to the Early Learning Goals, which establish targets for most children to reach by the end of the Early Years Foundation Stage.

  • Bold Beginnings
    Bold beginnings: The Reception curriculum in a sample of good and outstanding primary schools In January 2017, Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector (HMCI) commissioned an Ofsted-wide review of the curriculum. Its aim was to provide fresh insight into leaders’ curriculum intentions, how these are implemented and the impact on outcomes for pupils. This report shines a spotlight on the Reception Year and the extent to which a school’s curriculum for four- and five-year-olds prepares them for the rest of their education and beyond. 2 Bold beginnings – November 2017, No. 170045 Contents Executive summary 4 Key findings 5 Recommendations 7 Reception – a unique and important year 8 The curriculum 12 Teaching 16 Language and literacy 19 Mathematics 24 Assessment and the early years foundation stage profile 26 Initial teacher education 29 Methodology 31 Annex A: Schools visited 32 Annex B: Online questionnaire 34 3 www.gov.uk/ofsted Executive summary A good early education is the foundation for later supposed to teach it.

  • Education in Scotland
    EDUCATION IN SCOTLAND Education in Scotland is markedly different from that in the rest of the United Kingdom - with a different curriculum, school boards to oversee school management and a General Teaching Council which has been in existence since 1965. Whilst there are many examples of successful and innovative practice in Scotland, the system is quite often not recognised as different by writers who talk about the United Kingdom education system as if it were one smooth whole. This book describes recent developments in both legislation and practice in Scotland, drawing comparisons with the English system. Chapters cover adminis­ tration and management, early years education provision, the curriculum in Scotland, secondary education and special educa - tional needs. Margaret Clark is Emeritus Professor of Education at the Uni­ versity of Birmingham. Pamela Munn is Professor of Curriculum Research at Moray House Institute of Education, Edinburgh.

  • Nursery/Reception Lesson Plan
    WHY DOES THIS RESOURCE EXIST? When Sally Holland became the Children’s Commissioner for Wales she consulted with more than 6000 children and young people to find out their priorities. Bullying emerged as the number one concern for children and young people in Wales. To see how children and young people felt this would best be addressed Sally launched Sam’s Story, where she consulted with more than 2000 children and young people to find out what young people think is the best way to prevent and tackle bullying. After listening to young people, one of Sally’s key recommendations is that all young people of all ages have time to reflect on and discuss their relationships. This resource helps all primary schools in Wales to enable their pupils to have this experience through videos, activities and supporting guidance. WHAT IS THE RESOURCE? This resource was developed by Rebecca Rees a teacher at Penygawsi Primary School. Rebecca took a whole school approach to delivering the Sam’s Story special mission in October 2016, developing a series of differentiated lesson plans for each key stage and adapting existing resources. The resource is the teaching approach Penygawsi took, outlined in a series of lesson plans with supporting information and relevant resources. It is a tried and tested whole school scheme of work that could be used during Anti-bullying week. WHAT WILL THIS RESOURCE SUPPORT IN MY SCHOOL? This will support your school to deliver pupil experiences related to their wellbeing, as specified in the 2017 Estyn Inspection Framework and contains an integrated evaluation to track the impact of the activities on the wellbeing of your pupils.
