Reception

The aim of the Reception curriculum materials is to provide children with an interesting, engaging, carefully structured introduction to ‘Understanding the World’. We believe every child deserves the best start in life and this underpins our goal to set children up with the knowledge, skills, and understanding they need to make progress in their education.

Our Reception curriculum materials will strengthen children’s understanding of the world while enriching and expanding their vocabulary to support communication. The curriculum materials support teachers whilst allowing them vital flexibility to use their own knowledge and expertise to enhance the provision in their reception classroom.

We equip our partner schools with the necessary resources to effectively teach our reception curriculum to their pupils. Resources include lesson plans, curriculum maps, and unit rationales.

The PKC reception curriculum covers:

• All about me
• Transport: past and present
• Space
• Growing and changing
• Kings and Queens
• Stories from the past

We equip our partner schools with the necessary resources to effectively teach the PKC Reception curriculum. Resources include lesson plans, curriculum maps and unit rationales.

Alongside the above resources, we provide every PKC Reception teacher with:

• Knowledge organisers for every unit
• Access to CPD: ‘A Knowledge Rich Curriculum in Practice’

To gain a better understanding of our reception curriculum, we deliver training for EYFS leads. These sessions include six pre-recorded videos followed by a live session with our curriculum team. By attending this session you will be able to apply our Reception curriculum with confidence within your schools.
