At the Grantham Preparatory International School we use the EYFS Framework (2021) to ensure that children learn and develop and are kept healthy and safe. It promotes teaching and learning to ensure children’s “school readiness”, and gives children the broad range of knowledge and skills that provide the right foundation for a good future progress through school and life. They use ongoing assessments through close observation to plan for each child’s learning and these observations form the basis of our assessment process. Teachers work closely with parents to gain a clear insight into how each child is developing both inside and outside school. Each child has an electronic learning journey which identifies how they are developing, their interests and their learning characteristics. Parents can look on line at this learning journey and share it with their child at any time.
