Curriculum Intent

The Child Development curriculum at Immanuel College has as its foundation the belief that all children are God’s children. For us in Child Development, our values of perseverance, character and hope underpin all our work.  

The intent of the GCSE Child Development curriculum is to: 

  • Introduce you to the early years sector
  • Focus on the learning, development, and care of children from birth to 5 years in the UK1
  • Introduce you to the different care setting within the Child Development sector
  • Show how play promotes children’s learning and development
  • Introduce you to the variety of health care roles to support children with their development3
  • Supporting all children to learn and develop physically, intellectually, emotionally, and socially, and adapting activities to support children’s play, learning and development2
