PSED focusses on children's mental and physical wellbeing. Children work on long-term skills and awareness to build a healthy foundation they can take forward. It's divided into these topics:


  • Self-Confidence and Self-Awareness
  • Managing Feelings and Behaviour
  • Making Relationships

Communication and Language (C+L) encourages conversations and spoken language skills. Underpinning all skills, it's foundational for children to be able to interact with their peers and their learning environment. It's split into the following distinct areas:


  • Listening and Attention
  • Understanding
  • Speaking

Physical Development (PD) is vital for healthy lives as well as affecting other areas of learning. Both gross and fine motor skills are developed over Early Years in activities like writing and cutting. Practitioners plan by looking at these specific areas:


  • Moving and Handling
  • Health and Self-Care

Literacy (L) skills will form a strong foundation for children's school careers, and are split simply into: 

  • Reading
  • Writing

Mathematics (M) area of learning focuses on simple concepts that are foundational to higher maths topics in Kindergarten and up. In EYFS children focus on the maths areas of:


  • Number
  • Shape, Space and Measure

Understanding the World (UTW) supports children's learning about the environment around them. In this area of learning children can explore new cultures and better understand basics that we often take for granted. 


  • People and Communities
  • The World
  • Technology

Expressive Arts and Design (EAD) supports children's creative development and expression. It helps children create their own art works and encourages them to value their own thoughts, opinions and skills. The two areas in this area of learning are:


  • Exploring and Using Media and Materials
