FS1 AND FS2
At the Oxford School, we understand the importance of children leading their own learning and learning through structured play. We offer the necessary balance of ‘teacher-led’ input and ‘pupil initiated’ learning.
We create a supportive, stimulating context in the school indoor and outdoor learning areas for learners to play and engage in inquiry, discovery, and reflection. We want our learners to be confident in expressing their ideas, happy to make independent choices, and keen to explore the world around them.
The curriculum followed in FS1 and FS2 is based on the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum. It is important to us that, children are encouraged to think and talk about what they are learning and how they are developing, using the language of learning even at this young age.
This is an early approach to ‘metacognition’, enabling the children to begin to see themselves as learners and build on their love of learning!
Learning habits and routines are very important, and we teach pupils how to look after and enjoy the resources around them.
We aim to make the learning relevant to children’s lives through our EYFS themes and colourful, lively, learning environment, and we place the pupils’ individual interests and choices at the heart of the classroom, so they own their learning.
Our Early Learning Goals
Communication and language
Personal, social and emotional development
Underpinning their personal development are the important attachments that shape their social world.
Literacy
It is crucial for children to develop a life-long love of reading. Reading consists of two dimensions: language comprehension and word reading.
Mathematics
Developing a strong grounding in number is essential so that all children develop the necessary building blocks to excel mathematically.
Expressive arts and design
The development of children’s artistic and cultural awareness supports their imagination and creativity.
Physical development
Physical activity is vital in children’s all-round development, enabling them to pursue happy, healthy and active lives.
Understanding the world
Understanding the world involves guiding children to make sense of their physical world and their community.
