Long term plans for each year group show the links between subjects and highlight the learning challenges for each year group. They are the overview of what each year group learns.

If you have any questions please reach out to your class teacher or some into the Main Office.

At Co-op Academy Broadhurst we aim to provide motivating first-hand experiences whilst encouraging children to build resilience, ambition and a lifelong love of learning. We believe that warm and positive relationships between staff and children, consistent routines and strong relationships with parents are key. We aim to build on the wealth of knowledge and skills children already have when they arrive and are actively developing relationships with parents and feeder settings through our home visits, stay and play sessions and transition visits. 

We recognise that all children are unique, celebrating and welcoming differences within our school community. We understand that children develop physically, verbally, cognitively and emotionally in an environment which values all cultures, communities and people. Therefore, our curriculum is child centred and we enhance it with the interests and fascinations of the children. Our curriculum is enquiry based and  follows the Early Years Statutory Framework for the Early years Foundation Stage 2021. This document specifies the requirements for learning and development in the EYFS and provides the prime and specific areas of learning we must cover in our curriculum. 

We understand that play is an integral part of learning and this is at the heart of our early years curriculum. We are passionate about children leading and engrossing themselves in their learning. We need to embed a language of learning based on the characteristics of effective learning; ‘Inspiring learning, growing together’, our whole school approach, enables children to understand and talk about their learning experiences using the following words – Challenge, Determination, Being Positive, Taking a Risk, Independence and Effort.
