This is also how we write our letters at Cherry Fold.

Please help your children with the correct letter formation at home.

How our curriculum looks...

We use Development Matters to support our curriculum, this is alongside all statutory elements of the EYFS. We base our provision on common play behaviours and we ensure progression from Nursery to the end of Reception. To support this progression we have a vocabulary and skills progression document. All of these feed into our weekly planning, alongside our ongoing assessment of children's progress, next steps and interests. We use Little Wandle for our phonics curriculum. We use Red Rose Mastery Maths and NCETM for our mathematics curriculum. Please ask if you would like to see these planning documents.
