At Derby Grammar School, we understand that children develop at different rates and have designed an inclusive curriculum which looks to encourage independence, resilience and interpersonal skills. Our hands-on approach to teaching means that children receive stimulating and awe-inspiring experiences that create a love of learning.
Our Early Years curriculum focuses on seven areas of learning:
- Communication and language
- Physical development
- Personal social and emotional development
- Literacy
- Mathematics
- Understanding of the World
- Expressive arts and design
Supporting pupils’ cognitive development is important to us, as is their overall well-being and happiness in school. The Early Years class is housed in our newest self-contained annexe and offers a calm teaching space with plenty of modern facilities and resources. Outdoor areas are safe and secure meaning children are free to explore, be creative and play with friends.
