A Memorable Milverton Curriculum
Our curriculum aims to provide all children with exciting learning opportunities. As a school we are continually working hard to develop a ‘Memorable Milverton Curriculum’ that reflects the context of the school, inspires the children and allows for achievement in all areas. The components of this curriculum go well beyond the statutory requirements of the National Curriculum - which can be downloaded here.

The Early Years Foundation Stage

Welcome to Reception – where our learning journey begins!
We love learning in Reception! The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) is an important time in a child’s development and forms the basis for a child’s on-going learning and growth. At Milverton Primary School, we believe that strong, positive partnerships with pupils, parents and carers are key. By getting to know each child and understanding their unique starting points, we can nurture their needs and help them make the very best progress. During the EYFS, children grow and develop rapidly, each at their own pace and in their own way. Our Reception provision supports this by offering rich opportunities for children to develop their personalities, talents, abilities and early learning skills. In Reception, our curriculum is guided by the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework. Children learn through play, exploration, active engagement and critical thinking. The curriculum is organised into seven areas of learning: Prime Areas: · Personal, Social and Emotional Development (PSED) · Communication and Language (C&L) · Physical Development (PD) Specific Areas: · Literacy (L) · Mathematics (M) · Understanding the World (UW) · Expressive Arts and Design (EAD) The prime areas are central to everything we do throughout the EYFS. The specific areas provide important knowledge and skills that become increasingly significant as children move towards the end of Reception. At Milverton, we enjoy a wide range of hands-on, meaningful learning experiences. Children are encouraged to explore, experiment, ask questions and develop rich language skills. Our indoor and outdoor classrooms are used throughout the day, supporting both teacher-led sessions and child-initiated learning. How we develop a personal journey In Reception, assessment is an ongoing process where we meet each child where they are, observing them in their play and engaging in high‑quality interactions to understand what they know and can do. Through direct teaching sessions and purposeful interactions in continuous provision, we support and move children on in their learning, using assessment to shape meaningful next steps for each child’s individual journey RECEPTION CURRICULUM OVERVIEW Click Here Government Guidance on EYFS Government Guidance on Development Matters |
