At Red Boots School we believe that every child needs to recognise the importance and relevance of their movements and communication in order to understand the world they live in. Through structured movement programmes we are able to ensure that each child learns to play, explore, be creative and most importantly be active in their own learning journey. We have a strong ethos of working with parents and other professionals to ensure a co-ordinated and consistent approach for each child.
Our active curriculum is unique and combines Conductive Education and aspects of the National Curriculum via creative topic based projects. It is designed to address individual targets detailed within each Educational Health Care Plan developed in conjunction with the child and their family. Please see our curriculum statement and policy.

Early Years – Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and Early Learning Goals (ELG)
This covers the range from birth to the ELG. The framework links to the EYFS 2021 Framework and the new 2020 Development Matters.

Primary Steps
