Understanding the
British National Curruculum
The early years foundation stage (EYFS) is a comprehensive statutory framework established in the United Kingdom by the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF). The framework sets standards for development, learning and care of children from birth to five. All early years providers will be required to use this framework from September 2008 and to complete an EYFS profile for each child at the end of the academic year in which they reach the age of five.
Young children will have had a wide range of different experiences and will have a wide range of skills and interests when they join a setting or school. They need a well-planned and resourced curriculum to take their learning forward and to provide opportunities for all children to succeed in an atmosphere of care and of feeling valued. Monitoring of each child’s progress throughout the foundation stage is essential to ensure that they are making progress and that particular difficulties in any of the areas of learning, whatever the cause, are identified and addressed. This process needs to start before the child joins the setting, with practitioners listening to parents’ accounts of their child’s development and noting any concerns. Prompt and appropriate action at this stage could help to prevent children from developing learning difficulties later in their school career.
In the ever-changing modern world, the future generations will most certainly need a well-rounded education and a wide variety of skills in order to pursue a successful career one day. At BBIA, we strive for excellence on all levels: academic, social and personal – we educate the leaders of tomorrow.
The professional and dedicated team of BBIA is following the EYFS guidelines and commited to perform the best.
