Mixed Reception & Year 1 Curriculum Map
This comprehensive Mixed Reception & Year 1 Curriculum Map has been designed to support settings where Reception and Year 1 children learn alongside one another, providing a clear and purposeful overview of learning across the academic year.
The map brings together shared themes, Big Questions, lines of enquiry, cultural capital and role play opportunities, creating a cohesive curriculum that allows both year groups to explore the same experiences while developing knowledge and skills appropriate to their stage of learning.
Reception learning is rooted in the EYFS, while Year 1 content is carefully linked to the National Curriculum, showing how learning develops as children move from Reception into Key Stage 1. The curriculum areas highlight clear progression between the two year groups, helping practitioners see where learning connects, builds and becomes increasingly independent.
The map includes progression across Communication and Language, Literacy, Mathematics, Physical Development, Personal, Social and Emotional Development, Understanding the World and Expressive Arts and Design, with Year 1 National Curriculum subjects woven into the relevant areas.
Designed to be practical and easy to use, this map can support long-term planning, curriculum development, mixed-age provision and progression into Year 1. It provides a clear framework while still allowing practitioners to adapt learning in response to children's interests, needs and starting points.
The document is fully editable, allowing you to make changes to suit your own setting, curriculum structure and cohort.
