Know the structure of education from early years to post-compulsory education
Before a child reaches school age they are entitled to free early year’s education from the early year’s foundation stage (EYFS). The aim of the EYFS is to ensure that all children under five benefit from a safe, secure and happy environment where they can play and develop, laying the foundation for success with the primary school curriculum. There are 6 key areas the EYFS are trying to combat and they are: 1. Personal, social and emotional development: This area is all about developing a positive sense of self and respect for others, social skills including dressing, undressing and washing, as well as having an enthusiasm for learning. 2. Communication, language and literacy: Children develop confidence and competence in communicating, speaking and listening, listening to stories and beginning to read and write. 3. Problem Solving, Reasoning and Numeracy: Developing a growing understanding of problem solving and numbers, through stories, songs, games and play. Children should become comfortable with numbers and use language such as 'heavier than' or 'bigger'. 4. Knowledge and understanding of the world: Learning to make sense of the world, finding out about the natural environment, using tools and different materials to make things and exploring ICT. 5. Physical development: Children will be helped to develop skills of coordination, control, manipulation and movement and to understand the importance of a healthy diet and lifestyle. 6. Creative development: Developing imagination and creativity in art, music, movement, dance, imaginative and role-play activities.
There are many options when a child then reaches 16. The options available are that they can go to college to study AS/A levels, go into the army, go to college and do BTEC courses, get a job or even become an apprentice. These have varied lengths for example the army could be long term because of it
