Woodland Traditional
Pre-Schools
Woodland pre-schools provide a quality international education based on the Foundation Stage of the UK National Curriculum, which is designed to allow children from diverse backgrounds to learn through fun, structured, hands on activities and to enjoy the experience of exploring and thinking for themselves.
The National Curriculum sets out a clear and full entitlement to learning for all pupils up to the age of sixteen. It determines the content of what will be taught and sets attainment targets for learning. It also determines how performance will be assessed and reported.
The Foundation Stage is a distinct phase of education for children aged between 2 ½ and 5 years. It sets out six areas of learning which form the basis of the Foundation Stage Curriculum. These areas are:
- Personal, Social and Emotional Development
- Communication, Language and Literacy
- Mathematical Development
- Knowledge and Understanding of the World
- Physical
Development
- Creative
Development
Each area of learning
has a set of related Early Learning Goals. Most children
will achieve all the goals. By the end of the foundation stage,
just prior to entering primary school, some will have progressed
beyond them. |
