Statement of Intent
What are we trying to achieve?
There is abundant and compelling evidence that connecting experiences and learning in the primary years with the ‘world of work’ and making connections between them, has a long term positive measurable effect on earnings. This is a blunt measure but indicates greater success in education and the workplace. In addition, some studies link these experiences with greater achievement and better engagement with school and reduced likelihood of being ‘NEET’. Our school endeavours to develop a culture of embedding ‘why we are learning this’ throughout our primary offer to contextualise why we learn what we learn and highlighting the links between real roles and the skills and knowledge that the children develop.

EYFS
Use the following pages to record evidence of what is going on in school (ideally referenced in the action plan and trackers). It may be: simple snapshots to show a display, a screen shot of a role that was used in science, or a picture of a visitor but this allows you to show hoe CRL is being embedded according to the long term plan.
We have created one page per age/stage but delete or duplicate as required. Some people like to add more pages (one per term?) for each year group
