Early Years

En Laude San Pedro, nuestro plan de estudios de Early Years introduce el aprendizaje de idiomas desde edades tempranas, al mismo tiempo que apoya y refuerza la lengua materna de cada niño. A través de un aprendizaje basado en el juego y guiado por sus intereses, acompañamos a cada alumno para que desarrolle todo su potencial a su propio ritmo.

Our curriculum

We follow the UK EYFS National curriculum. Developing all seven learning areas, our students have subjects such as Numeracy, Literacy, Spanish, PE, PSED, and Continuous Provision.

Numeracy

Confidence with numbers

In Numeracy, pupils develop a strong early understanding of numbers - counting shapes and mathematical relationships. Through games, hands-on resources and real-life contexts, they build reasoning and problem-solving skills, creating a confident foundation for future learning.

Numeracy

Literacy

Love of reading

Literacy introduces pupils to reading and writing through a structured phonics approach. They learn to recognise sounds, read and form CVC words, and begin writing progressively, fostering communication skills, reading comprehension and a love of books from an early age.

Literacy

Personal, Social and Emotional Development

Growing with confidence

Children learn to understand and manage emotions, build self-esteem, form positive relationships and resolve conflicts, promoting independence, respect and wellbeing in a safe and supportive environment.

Personal, Social and Emotional Development

Continuous Provision

Learning through creativity

Continuous Provision provides a flexible and stimulating learning environment where pupils explore areas such as music, art and creative play. Through guided and independent activities, they develop imagination, social skills, coordination and self-expression, encouraging curiosity and independent learning.

Continuous Provision

Spanish

Building confidence in Spanish

In this subject, pupils learn Spanish as a second language in a natural and progressive way. Through games, songs, daily routines and speaking activities, they build basic vocabulary and listening skills, gaining confidence to communicate in a bilingual environment.

Spanish

Physical Education

Building strength through movement

In Physical Education, pupils develop motor skills, coordination and body awareness through age-appropriate, dynamic activities. Teamwork, confidence and healthy lifestyle habits are encouraged, helping children enjoy movement and physical wellbeing from an early age.

Physical Education

Our seven areas of development

During Nursery and Reception the following objectives are pursued. Most are not taught as formal lessons, but approached through topics, continuous provision and adult led activities.

  • 01

    Communication and Language

    Learning to express ideas
    Communication and language is the foundation of all learning. Children develop listening, understanding and speaking skills through stories, conversations and play. They learn to express ideas, ask questions and build confidence in communication, supporting social interaction and future academic learning.

  • 02

    Physical Development

    Moving with confidence
    Physical Development supports both gross and fine motor skills through movement, coordination and self-care activities. Children strengthen balance, control and dexterity while developing independence through everyday actions such as dressing, using tools and exploring active play.

  • 03

    Personal, Social and Emotional Development

    Growing emotionally strong
    This area helps children understand and manage emotions, build positive relationships and grow independence. Through routines and guided interactions, pupils learn self-regulation, empathy and respect, creating a strong foundation for wellbeing and confident learning.

  • 04

    Literacy

    Discovering reading and writing
    Literacy introduces children to the early stages of reading and writing through phonics, mark making and storytelling. Pupils begin to recognise sounds, letters and words, developing early writing skills and a growing interest in books and communication.

  • 05

    Mathematics

    Making sense of numbers
    Mathematics develops early numerical understanding through counting, number recognition, patterns, shapes and spatial awareness. Children explore mathematical concepts through play and real-life situations, building problem-solving skills and logical thinking. 

  • 06

    Understanding the World

    Exploring the world around us
    Understanding the world helps children make sense of their environment, people and technology. Through exploration, role play and discovery, pupils learn about their surroundings, cultural awareness and how things work in everyday life.

  • 07

    Expressive Arts and Design

    Creating and imagining
    Expressive arts and design encourages creativity and imagination through art, music, movement and materials. Children explore ideas, express emotions and develop confidence by creating, experimenting and enjoying artistic experiences.
