About this course

Development during the primary-school years

This course concentrates on children aged 5 to 11. Physical development and motor skills sit alongside learning, language, communication and social and emotional development. The modules also examine factors that influence development and the recognition of developmental concerns.

Teachers, teaching assistants and after-school care staff can use this age-specific curriculum to focus their study on middle childhood. Social workers and other childcare professionals working with this age group are also included in the intended audience.

For younger children, the separate Child Development: Birth to 5 years course covers infancy and early childhood. For recognising and reporting safeguarding concerns, compare Child Protection Awareness.
