OVERARCHING PRINCIPLES OF THE CURRICULUM

Four guiding principles shape our practice in EYFS and are documented in the EYFS 2021 Statutory Framework.

A Unique Child

Every child is unique, constantly learning and can be resilient, capable, confident and self-assured.

Positive Relationships

Children learn to be strong and independent learners through positive relationships.

Enabling Environments With Teaching & Support From Adults

Children learn and develop successfully in enabling environments with teaching and support from adults who respond to their individual interests and needs and help them to build their learning over time. At DBIS, we value how positive relationships with all stakeholders in the community make a difference to our children’s learning and development.

Learning & Development

Children develop and learn in different ways and at different rates. Our framework covers the education and care of all children, including children with special educational needs and disabilities. In planning and guiding the children’s experiences, we reflect on the different ways that children learn, and we mirror these in our practice.
