Gardners Lane Primary School

The planning within the EYFS at Gardners Lane follows the whole school topic. However, we endeavour to find out about the children’s interests and experiences and link it to the topic where possible. We also respond to seasonal events.

We make regular assessments of children’s learning and use this information to ensure that future planning reflects identified needs.

We follow the EYFS curriculum and use  relevant assessment tools when assessing children’s development and learning.

Children learn through child-initiated play in areas of provision as well as adult-directed tasks.

We believe that children have the right to learn outdoors during the EYFS and we provide them with many opportunities to explore learning in the outdoor environment.
