Intent

At Oak Tree we believe that ALL children in our EYFS can succeed and reach their potential. We want all our children to develop holistically; make good relationships with others, feel confident, be independent and make progress in all areas of learning.

We have developed an ambitious curriculum that embeds learning and gives time for children to consolidate. We build on concepts and knowledge each term so that children recall what has been taught. In Reception we revisit concepts in more depth that were taught in Nursery. Many of our children are new to Oak Tree at the start of Reception.   

We want to give children a strong start to their school career that prepares them for the learning that follows in KS1 and KS2.

At Oak Tree we have high expectations of children and are committed to the Early Identification of Needs in order to support all our children to reach their potential and make great progress from their starting points.
