Reception Progression Across the Year: All 7 Areas

EYFS Progression Across the Year: All 7 Areas

A practical set of seven one-page progression overviews, covering every area of learning within the EYFS.

Designed in the same simple format as the free Communication & Language overview, this pack gives practitioners a clear example of how learning might become increasingly sophisticated across a Reception year.

The pack includes progression overviews for:

• Communication & Language
• Personal, Social & Emotional Development
• Physical Development
• Literacy
• Mathematics
• Understanding the World
• Expressive Arts & Design

Each overview takes you from Autumn 1 through to Summer 2, helping you consider how children’s knowledge, skills, thinking and independence might build and deepen over time.

These are worked examples rather than a fixed curriculum or assessment tracker. They are designed to support curriculum conversations, planning and professional reflection while allowing settings to adapt progression to their own children, context and curriculum.

Ideal for:

• Reception teachers
• EYFS leads
• nursery and school practitioners
• curriculum planning meetings
• staff development
• reviewing progression across the year
• 
  

A useful starting point if you are asking:

What are children actually getting better at as the year progresses?
