EYFS Curriculum

We have developed our EYFS Curriculum in line with the newly revised EYFS Curriculum for September 2021. The knowledge and skills overviews now list a sample of statutory Early Learning Goals ​as well as recently updated Development Matters Skills covered within each unit. We suggest that you adapt each overview and the goals and skills covered within each unit to suit the needs of your specific cohort and school setting. For more detailed information and explanations about the revisions and changes to the EYFS curriculum, see the summer edition of our Optimus Insight magazine here.
