RESPECT COURAGE KINDNESS EQUALITY

Parrett & Axe CEVA Primary School is a safe, happy place to learn, work and play.

This begins in Corfe Class.

We provide an engaging and enriching curriculum which responds to children’s needs and interests whilst embedding a positive attitude to school and learning.

We are proud of our parent partnerships and work closely with our families to ensure all children achieve their full potential. Children are encouraged to become independent, imaginative, confident and emotionally aware.

We plan a stimulating curriculum which values prior learning and embraces different cultures whilst providing a firm foundation for Key Stage 1. The daily timetable boasts a careful mix of adult-led carpet sessions, adult-led focused activities, independent tasks for the children to complete alone and together, and time for child-initiated learning through planned purposeful play. Continuous Provision is supported both indoors and outside.

Our curriculum is designed to follow the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage alongside the non-statutory document ‘Development Matters’ which set out what a child should know from birth until the end of the Reception year. There are seven main areas of learning.

The Prime Areas:

Personal, Social and Emotional Development (PSED)

Communication and Language

Physical Development (Fine and Gross motor)

The Specific Areas:

Literacy

Mathematics

Understanding the World

Expressive Arts

All of these areas of learning are linked and connected.

The ‘Characteristics of Effective Learning’, alongside our Core Values of Courage, Respect, Kindness and Equality weave through all the areas to provide a Strong Foundation for all learning.
