Broadfields Primary School

Our Aim

At Broadfields, we aim to ensure that opportunities exist for children to reach their full potential by consistently promoting high standards in a happy, safe and secure environment of which we can be proud.

We strive to create an exciting, attractive and challenging provision to develop children’s independent learning.

We value all children’s cultural inheritance, diversity of language and beliefs and we aim to develop the whole child in an environment that is calm and challenging.

Our children will be stimulated and nurtured to become competent, confident, independent and co-operative learners, who feel supported to take risks and explore their own learning.

Class Information

Curriculum Overview

In Reception, we follow the curriculum set out in the Early Years Foundation Stage, which covers all areas of children’s learning and development from birth to five years old.  The EYFS divides the curriculum into seven areas of learning and development – the ‘prime areas’, Communication and language, Physical development, and Personal, social and emotional development, and the ‘specific areas’, Literacy, Mathematics, Understanding the world and Expressive arts and design. These lead to 17 Early Learning Goals, which summarise the knowledge, skills and understanding that children should gain by the end of the Reception year.

In order to teach in a manner that fosters the Characteristics of Effective Learning we begin each term with a broad topic and then follow the children's lead.  Below is a guide to our starting topics this academic year.

Phonics

At Broadfields Primary School we follow the Supersonic Phonics Friends scheme.

These are the sounds your children are learning in their reception year.

At Broadfields Primary School, we prioritise reading, aiming for all children to read for pleasure by the end of Year 2. Phonics is key to developing reading skills. Children needing extra support may join phonics catch-up groups with experienced teachers. Weekly phonics assessments help identify those who need additional help.
