A complete set of Curriculum Progression documents covering all seven areas of learning, tracking each individual Early Learning Goal from 18 months through to Year 1. Created by experienced teachers and aligned with the EYFS framework, this bundle makes the full developmental pathway to every ELG visible in one place — and shows exactly what it becomes next in Year 1.
Because curriculum progression does not stop at the end of Reception. This bundle helps you see the full picture, from the earliest stages of development right through to the National Curriculum expectations that follow.
What’s Included?
- Seven full curriculum progression documents — one for every area of learning
- Every individual ELG statement broken down goal by goal, not just by broad strand
