Learning at TLA

Reception

At Temple Learning Academy our curriculum intent is built on facilitating new experiences, ensuring quality learning and providing children with the skills to tackle new challenges with confidence and resilience as they embark on their journey within education through to Primary and then Secondary.

Our Early Years curriculum allows us to respond to children’s new interests and needs and it meets all the requirements in the statutory framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).

Curriculum


Our Early Years Curriculum Long Term Plan provides an overview of learning throughout the school year in Reception. This is continuously reviewed and adapted to ensure it links with the Primary Curriculum and is reflective of the needs and interests of the children.

Reading in EYFS at Temple Learning Academy

At Temple Learning Academy, our reception children begin learning to read through daily systematic synthetic phonic sessions using the Ruth Miskin Read Write Inc programme. Children will progress through this scheme throughout EYFS and Key Stage 1 until they are fluent readers. Personal one to one tutoring is also provided where necessary as we strive for all children to be confident readers and help them develop a love of reading.

This love of reading is promoted by providing many opportunities to share books in class, we use both fiction and non-fiction tests across areas of provision and children access reading both indoors and outdoors often enjoying sharing a story with adults and their peers.

EYFS Mathematics

At Temple Learning Academy, we have an all-through mastery learning approach that begins with our youngest learners in Reception. Our vision is for all children to become master mathematicians who: 

  • Have a deep understanding of the structure and composition of numbers to 10 
  • Use accurate mathematical language
  • Recognise patterns within the number system such as doubling and halving 
  • Can subitise (say the amount without counting) confidently and accurately

We use White Rose Maths to form our Long Term Plan. This is enhanced with our use of the Mastering Number Programme and CLIC to practice our basic skills.
