Online Safety
At Woodhouse, safeguarding our pupils remains highly important and the introduction of home learning and remote teaching brings with it greater challenges. Children will increasingly be using social networks to reach out to others and with that there will be an increased risk to fake news and online harms including grooming, radicalisation, exploitation, and bullying. All these issues could impact on their mental health and well-being. This is a time when many young people will be vulnerable and unfortunately, the potential for exploitation will be at its highest.
The UK Safer internet Centre has identified the following online risk categories;
- Behaviour: sharing too much information
- Content: age-inappropriate or unreliable content or fake news
- Contact: strangers, bullies, groomers or radicalisers can contact children
- Commercialism and financial exploitation: hidden costs of advertising in apps, games and websites
- Extremism and radicalisation

Early Years Foundation Stage
The Early Years
Provision is organised in line with the revised Early Years Framework 2021 taking into consideration each child’s starting point to guide them forward on their unique learning journey. The seven education programmes of the framework underpin the Early Years curriculum which are divided into three Prime areas and four Specific.
The three Characteristics of Effective Teaching and Learning celebrate the different ways in which children learn, the thinking that is applied and the attitudes that are being displayed.
Educational Programmes
The three prime areas are the foundations of the Early Years curriculum and includes:
Communication and Language
- Physical Development
- Personal, social and emotional development
The four specific areas continue to strengthen the three prime areas through:
Literacy
- Mathematics
- Understanding the World
- Expressive arts and design
The three Characteristics of Effective Teaching and Learning are:
Playing and Exploring – children investigate and experience things, and ‘have a go’
- Active Learning – children concentrate and keep on trying if they encounter difficulties, and enjoy achievements
- Creating and thinking critically – children have and develop their own ideas, make links between ideas, and develop strategies for doing things.
Children work towards achieving the following 17 Early Learning Goals by the end of the Early Years Foundation Stage:
Communication and Language
- Listening, attention and understanding
- Speaking
Personal, Social and Emotional Development
- Self-regulation
- Managing self
- Building relationships
Physical Development
- Gross motor skills
- Fine motor skills
Literacy
- Comprehension
- Word Reading
- Writing
Mathematics
- Number
- Numerical patterns
Understanding the world
- Past and Present
- People, culture and communities
- The natural world
Expressive arts and design
- Creating with materials
- Being imaginative and expressive
Observations of children’s learning and achievements are continually carried out to monitor each child’s progress throughout the year and the staff compile a wealth of information on each child to reflect their ‘Learning Journey’ throughout their reception year. Progress and next steps are regularly shared with parents and carers and observations, achievements and successes from home can be shared with the class teacher and celebrated in school. The Learning Journey profile can be viewed online and discussed further during our parent consultation evenings.
Mastery in Maths (EYFS)
Year 1 and beyond
Once our children move into Year 1 they begin the transition to the National Curriculum. This consists of the core subjects of English, Maths, Science and Computing. There are also foundation subjects included in the curriculum: Art and Design, Design and Technology, Geography, History, French (KS2 only), Music and Physical Education. The school follows the RE syllabus recommended by the Standing Advisory Council for Religious Education (see below). A bespoke RESPECT curriculum (Relationships, Education, Social, Personal, Emotional, Citizenship, Trust) has been developed in response to promoting our pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural (SMSC) development and links closely to the school’s values. Each year group learns about pertinent issues linking to the following:
Be United, Be Creative, Be Safe, Be Caring, Be Bold and Be Healthy
Within the SMSC element of the curriculum, and covertly across many areas of school, we seek to promote the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.
We deliver a curriculum built on theme - based learning to enthuse and engage our children. This curriculum includes lots of shared talk and opportunities to carry out research. Opportunities to make links are maximised and cross-curricular learning (CCL) is an intrinsic part of provision for all year groups.
The Foundation Curriculum: Cross – Curricular Learning (CCL)
We aim to provide a curriculum which is rich, broad and balanced and enables our pupils to become successful, resilient and confident – both academically and socially. We aspire for our children to enjoy their learning and to develop enquiring minds and the personal qualities they need to be good citizens of the world . Our curriculum provides opportunities for pupils to work collaboratively enabling them to foster a good understanding of the world in which they are growing up. Pupils are encouraged to think for themselves and respect others, thus enabling them to build on their growing knowledge and be responsible ,self-assured citizens. More information on the content of the curriculum is detailed on this website below by subject and year group.
