Reception Curriculum Overview
The Reception Curriculum Overview at Elizabeth Selby Infant School sets out a rich, play-based programme of learning for children in their first year of school. It is designed to support development across all areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage, with a strong focus on communication and language, early literacy and maths, personal and social development, and understanding the world.
Learning is carefully planned through engaging topics, high-quality stories, and purposeful play, helping children build confidence, curiosity, and independence. The curriculum provides strong foundations to ensure a smooth transition into Year 1, while celebrating each child’s individual progress and development.
