EYFS Curriculum

Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) at Rectory CE Primary School

At Rectory, we are proud to offer an immersive and inclusive curriculum that inspires curiosity, fosters ambition, and challenges every child to reach their full potential—regardless of background or individual needs. Our carefully sequenced curriculum is built on high expectations, designed to equip pupils with the knowledge, skills, and experiences they need to thrive, both now and in the future.

We believe in broadening horizons through a rich and diverse educational offer. From core academic learning to enriching experiences like Forest School, our curriculum nurtures respect for others, celebrates cultural diversity, and encourages children to explore the world around them. By laying strong foundations and raising aspirations, we empower every learner to choose their own path with confidence and purpose.

A Nurturing Start to a Lifelong Journey

Our Early Years Foundation Stage provides a warm, caring, and secure environment where children feel safe, valued, and ready to learn. We understand that the early years are a vital time for building confidence, friendships, and a love of learning. That’s why we focus on creating a setting where every child can flourish emotionally, socially, and academically.

Through a blend of structured teaching and play-based exploration, we offer rich, stimulating experiences tailored to each child’s interests and developmental stage. Our provision sparks curiosity, encourages imaginative play, and supports children in becoming independent, resilient learners who take pride in their achievements and are always eager to ‘have a go’.

Our spacious indoor and outdoor environments are thoughtfully designed to promote active learning. Enhancements such as Forest School provide hands-on, nature-based experiences that deepen understanding and broaden children’s perspectives. These opportunities help children make meaningful connections with the world around them and lay the groundwork for future success.
