If you're looking to explore your school's provision and curriculum for physical development for your early years children, this audit pack gives you the perfect starting point. Aimed at primary school settings, the audit can be used by both EYFS leads, year 1 leaders & teachers, and curriculum leaders to explore how effectively your school gives children broad and exciting physical development learning opportunities in order to develop their gross and fine motor skills. Links are also made between the EYFS and the National Curriculum subjects in Year 1 to provide support for that crucial transition, and is ideal if you're looking to provide a cohesive curriculum offer.

What's included in this bundle?
This pack contains two key resources to support your understanding of effective provision for physical development (PD) in the early years. Full 9-page guidance is included and will walk you through:
- What physical development in the EYFS is
- What the physical development early learning goals (ELGs) are
- What physical development could look like in practice
- How physical development links to the Year 1 National Curriculum, such as through PE, English writing and DT
This makes the pack ideal for those who are new to EYFS leadership, or for non-EYFS specialists (such as curriculum leaders) who wish to use the pack to gain a deeper understanding of teaching and learning in the early years foundation stage.
The pack also includes a 12-page editable Physical Development Audit which provides reflective questions that allow you to consider your current position and your next steps in the following broad areas:
- Physical Development Overview
- Indoor and Outdoor Learning Environments
- Curriculum Planning
- Staff Knowledge and Professional Development
- Children's Engagement and Outcomes
