Impact and OFSTED

Our Approach

We use evidence-based programmes and strong family partnerships to help every child thrive.

We strive to ensure that our children’s progress across the EYFS curriculum is good from their varied starting points. Our skilled practitioners use observations to make formative assessments which inform future planning and ensure that all children build on their current knowledge and skills at a good pace. Summative assessment compares children attainment to age related expectations using month bands in Development Matters.

The impact of our curriculum will also, in fact, be measured by how effectively it helps our children develop into well rounded individuals who embody our values and carry with them the knowledge, skills and attitudes which will make them lifelong learners and valuable future citizens.
