Early Years Foundation Stage
Our new Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) long-term plan for 2025–26 offers children a rich, balanced curriculum that sparks curiosity and builds firm foundations for future learning. Each term is organised around engaging themes – from Me and My Family and Light and Dark in the autumn, through Explorers, Dinosaurs and Space in the spring, to Plants, Animals and Habitats in the summer. Stories, celebrations and real-life experiences bring learning to life, while exciting hooks such as superhero role-play, nature investigations and story-making encourage creativity, problem-solving and collaboration. The plan ensures progression towards all Early Learning Goals, weaving together communication, literacy, maths, understanding the world, and expressive arts, so that every child can thrive, explore and develop confidence in their first steps at school.
