Class 1 - EYFS/R Curriculum

The Curriculum
At the Federation of Grewelthorpe and Fountains, our curriculum for the Foundation Stage reflects the areas of learning identified in the Early Years Foundation Stage Document.
The EYFS framework includes seven areas of learning and development, all of which are important and included in the delivered curriculum and provision. There are three prime areas, which are seen to underpin the fundamental skills children require. These prime areas also support the development of the specific areas of the curriculum.
