This document
summarizes the goals for learning to be achieved by English children
by the time they enter compulsory education after their fifth birthday.
The goals emphasize early literacy, numeracy, and the development
of personal and social skills. Presented as six areas of learning,
the goals provide a foundation for later achievement in Key Stage
1 of the National Curriculum. The report's introduction defines
the six learning areas: personal and social development, language
and literacy, mathematics, knowledge and understanding of the world,
physical development, and creative development. The report delineates
common features of good practice to support children's learning
and key features underlying effective partnerships with parents.
The bulk of the report shows in a tabular format how the desirable
outcomes or learning goals in each area relate to National Curriculum
Key Stages 1 and 2. (KB)
