At Adel Primary School, our Early Years Curriculum provides a strong foundation for future learning, fostering a love of learning and a sense of awe for the world. We aim to develop motivated, resilient, kind, and respectful children who leave us as confident, independent, and happy learners.

Our dedicated Early Years team creates a positive, caring, and secure environment where children are both nurtured and challenged to reach their potential. We offer rich, memorable learning experiences that cater to each child’s unique needs, interests, and learning styles.

We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Statutory Framework, which sets the standards for learning, development, and care for children from birth to age five. Our curriculum is based on seven interconnected areas of learning, and by the end of the EYFS, children are expected to meet the Early Learning Goals in each area.

Our curriculum is designed to balance child-initiated and adult-led activities, allowing children to explore both their interests and new topics. Through our planned learning opportunities, we ensure the children are building strong foundations in their learning to prepare them for the next stage of their school journey.

Each child has a key worker to support their personal and curricular needs. We value close collaboration with families, building positive relationships and celebrating diversity. Throughout their time in EYFS, children develop a sense of belonging, preparing them for the next stage in their learning journey.
