At Haddon we adhere to the statutory educational programmes, which are shaped by the 7 areas of learning and development.
Three areas are particularly important for building a foundation for igniting children’s curiosity and enthusiasm for learning, forming relationships, and thriving. These are called the prime areas:
Communication and language
Physical development
Personal, social, and emotional development
Four areas help children to strengthen and apply the prime areas. These are called the specific areas:
Literacy
Mathematics
Understanding the world
Expressive arts and design
Threaded throughout the EYFS curriculum at Haddon are the Characteristics of Effective Learning. These elements underpin how we reflect on each child’s development and adjust our practice accordingly.
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.

We use the Flying High Partnership 'Key Knowledge Progression Documents' to support the development of our sequential, knowledge-rich curriculum at Haddon. The progression document takes full account of the statutory requirements from the EYFSF, drawing on guidance from Development Matters too.
