Our Curriculum

We aim to bring learning alive, making it exciting and stimulating. We are a school that likes to celebrate success, at every level. The life of the school is driven by enthusiasm and a desire to achieve. We want to give our children a thirst for learning that continues with them throughout their future school experiences and lives. The curriculum takes account of the needs of all children and is planned accordingly. Our committed teaching and support staff strive to bring out the very best in our children and equip them with the skills they will need for the future. Learning is fun and interactive and children are well supported to reach their personal goals. We place great emphasis upon the well-being and personal development of every child and encourage them to have self-discipline, tolerance and a sense of responsibility for others. We expect the best from our children and ourselves.

Key Drivers for our Curriculum

Our curriculum is planned around a series of themes that maximise cross-curricular links whilst ensuring there is a clear development in the learning of key skills.  As a school we believe that there are three ‘curriculum drivers’ that personalise our curriculum and develop the whole child in order to prepare them for life beyond Primary School. These have been chosen through consultation with staff and governors, identifying the needs and interests of all of our children.

 

Ambition and Possibilities

Life-Skills and Enterprise

Knowledge and Understanding

Each term, as well as receiving a topic sheet, parents/carers of children in Class 2, 3 and 4 will also receive a curriculum sheet which will show you how we are meeting the requirements of the 2014 curriculum as well as the needs and interests of your child. They are available on the website too by clicking the links on this page and on each class page.


Keep them safe and work through the plan with your child as they progress through their topic.
