--- title: "EYFS Curriculum" url: "https://foxwood.academy/our-curriculum/eyfs-curriculum" school: "Foxwood Academy" --- # EYFS Curriculum **We don't currently have any EYFS pupils on roll at Foxwood Academy - 2025-2026 and 2026-2027.** ## EYFS Curriculum The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum is made up of seven areas of learning and Foxwood Academy gives particular focus to communication and language, social and self-help skills and developing play and exploration. A creative and multi-sensory approach to learning is adopted with daily opportunities to learn both indoors and outdoors. #### The prime areas of learning are: - Communication and Language. - Physical Development. - Personal, Social and Emotional Development. #### The specific areas of learning are: - Literacy. - Mathematics. - Understanding the World. - Expressive Arts and Design. EYFS learners have ample opportunity to engage in planned play; both adult-led and child-initiated. The Academy recognises the crucial role of the adult in scaffolding play to develop key communication and play skills, widen a child’s interests and develop their confidence and curiosity. ### EYFS Profile and ELGs The EYFS Profile is used for assessment purposes which allows holistic, best-fit judgements to be made about a child’s development. This is a collaborative process involving classroom practitioners, parents and outside agencies. Ongoing assessment occurs routinely within the EYFS; photographs and videos are used to capture a child’s interests and achievements and are shared with parents and caregivers as appropriate. A judgement for each of the 17 Early Learning Goals (ELGs) is made during the final term of the EYFS. | **Prime Areas** | Communication and Language ELGs | Physical Development ELGs | Personal, Social and Emotional Development ELGs | |---|---|---|---| | - Listening, Attention and Understanding - Speaking | - Gross Motor Skills - Fine Motor Skills | - Self-Regulation - Managing Self - Building Relationships | | **Specific Areas** | Literacy ELGs | Mathematics ELGs | Understanding the World ELGs | Expressive Arts and Design ELGs | |---|---|---|---|---| | - Comprehension - Word Reading - Writing | - Number - Numerical Patterns | - Past and Present - People, Culture and Communities - The Natural World | - Creating with Materials - Being imaginative and Expressive | A child’s learning and development will either be described as meeting **expected** levels of development or **emerging** in each area of learning. This knowledge will then be used to inform a thorough baseline assessment for all core and non-core subjects as well as the Preparing for Adulthood (PfA) curriculum in readiness for teaching and learning in Year 1. The class teacher remains consistent between EYFS and Year 1 to ensure this important transition is as smooth as it can be. ### Curriculum - [Curriculum Information](https://foxwood.academy/our-curriculum/curriculum-information) - [EYFS Curriculum](https://foxwood.academy/our-curriculum/eyfs-curriculum) - [Core Subjects](https://foxwood.academy/our-curriculum/core-subjects) - [Non-Core Subjects](https://foxwood.academy/our-curriculum/non-core-subjects) - [Preparing for Adulthood (PfA)](https://foxwood.academy/our-curriculum/pfa-preparing-for-adulthood) - [How We Organise Our Curriculum](https://foxwood.academy/our-curriculum/how-we-organise-our-curriculum) - [Classes](https://foxwood.academy/our-curriculum/classes/primary) - [Assessment and Exams](https://foxwood.academy/our-curriculum/assessment-and-exams) - [Careers and Employability Offer](https://foxwood.academy/our-curriculum/careers-employability-offer) - [Supported Internships and Work Related Learning ](https://foxwood.academy/our-curriculum/supported-internships-and-work-related-learning) ![Foxwood Academy](https://files.schudio.com/foxwood-academy/images/logo/logo-foxwood-academy-footer(1).png) ### Foxwood Academy Derby Road Nottingham Nottinghamshire NG9 3GF 0115 9177202 ### Useful Links - [Policies](https://foxwood.academy/key-information/policies) - [Our Curriculum](https://foxwood.academy/our-curriculum/curriculum-information) - [Admissions Arrangements](https://foxwood.academy/key-information/admissions-arrangements) - [Contact Us](https://foxwood.academy/contact) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/groups/foxwoodacademy/) © Copyright 2025–2026 Foxwood Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://foxwood.academy/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
