Curriculum Reception
Early Reading
We teach phonics knowledge in reception year and years one and two. We use "Floppy’s Phonics" from Oxford University Press. We also use many of their phonically decodable books. You can find out more about the programme at:
Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)
Children in the reception year follow the EYFS curriculum. This statutory framework is provided by the Department for Education and can be found at: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/974907/EYFS_framework_-_March_2021.pdf
This framework provides a structure that was developed further by Risley School. The children in the reception do not follow specific subjects; they follow areas of learning. Examples of Risley School EYFS plans are provided below. Please note that Personal, Social and Emotional Development (PSED) opportunities are delivered through other areas of learning and geography links in Understanding the World are recorded in the NC Geography plans below.
