- Early Years
Our Early Years provision was graded as outstanding by Ofsted in February 2020.
Learning in the Early Years is the foundation for all future learning. It is in these years that children learn to socialise, to share, and how to be a friend. They get used to being in a situation where the needs of many may sometimes be more important than what they want - a real change for some!
The importance of play cannot be overstated, but there is also direct teaching where necessary.
EYFS core entitlement
At Cranbourne we believe that all children are entitled to a core knowledge. We do not believe that this can necessarily be covered through relying on the children’s interests to shape the curriculum. The themes below have been specifically selected to ensure that the children leave early years with the tier 1 vocabulary they need, plus tier 2 and tier 3 vocabulary which will enable disadvantaged children to access wider learning as well as children who may have wider opportunities outside school.
