Curriculum Overview 2026/27

What does your child learn at school each and every day? You can find out more information about our fun and enriching curriculum by clicking on the below documents.  

If you have any questions regarding the curriculum, about how we teach this to your children or how you can support your child at home, please contact Mrs B Suddhi, Head Teacher.

EYFS 1- Nursery

At Nursery we allow our children to explore the curriculum through deep level learning. This approach ensures the implementation of purposeful, stimulating, and challenging play opportunities that develop a child’s independence, knowledge, skills, and resilience through meaningful tasks that are personal to them. Using this style of teaching means that what the children learn is led by them and enhanced by practitioners.

How we teach phonics at Pear Tree Infant and Nursery School

At Pear Tree Infant and Nursery School, we take pride in facilitating all groups of children with enriched early reading opportunities. At the Infant setting we deliver quality first teaching and learning of early reading through the validated systematic synthetic phonics teaching programme, Essential Letters and Sounds.

We provide children with reading books containing decodable and common exception words which allow them to Independently use their phonic skills and knowledge. Teachers ensure that children have reading books matched to the sequence of sounds they are currently learning.

Phonics Reading Schemes

To allow children a range of reading texts we offer books from the following phonics reading schemes.
