Physical Education and Development, including Sensory

Our progressive curriculum is mapped from the very earliest stages of development, roughly in line with expectations for a child aged between birth and six months, through to the age-related expectations for a year six pupil. These stages of learning are used to break down expectations into pupil focused steps, with a focus on vocabulary and skills development. Our aim is to prepare each child for the next stage of their learning.

Vocabulary

Curriculum vocabulary for learners working within stages A to F.

Curriculum vocabulary for learners working within stages G to L.

Progressive Curriculum

Our progressive curriculum details the skills and knowledge taught at each stage.  Each setting plans learning opportunities from the curriculum grids in order to meet the needs of the pupils in their care. For example, pupils attending Early Years Assessment Centre will likely be working within stages A, B and C, whereas pupils entering Woodlands may be working at stages J, K or L. The document below outlines the learning at each stage.

Below are videos and photos which demonstrate what learning may look like for your child. If you have any questions about what you see below, you should speak to the Teacher in Charge of your child's setting.

Swimming

Swimming is an important part of the Key Stage Two curriculum. As children are developmentally ready and able to regulate themselves safely enough to access this, children attend swimming lessons at a local authority pool. Many children have never been swimming before, and we firmly believe that the foundational experiences we are able to provide for our children are vitally important, and we are grateful for family support as needed to achieve this. Below are the numbers of children who have achieved the required 25m swimming standard by the end of year six, but also pupils in earlier year groups who have been able to achieve this. We are very proud of all of our swimmers.
