Curriculum Year Group Overviews
We strive to create an exciting environment which will stimulate children and make them want to learn and develop good long-term attitudes to school and to learning.
Our curriculum is designed to build on children’s prior learning, provide first-hand learning experiences, allow the children to develop interpersonal skills, build resilience and become creative, critical thinkers.
We monitor children’s progress and development carefully so that new skills and ideas can be introduced as soon as a child is ready to progress to the next stage of learning. Our aim is to ensure that every child has access and entitlement to a broad, balanced, differentiated and relevant curriculum.
We believe that children learn most effectively from first-hand experiences and we endeavour to provide them wherever possible. The children engage in many practical activities and visits.
We celebrate and welcome differences within our school community and every child is recognised as a unique individual. We strive to provide enrichment opportunities to engage learning.
Our curriculum is delivered through a variety of methods, including:
- Making cross-curricular links where possible
- Enrichment activities
- Extra-curricular clubs
- Assemblies
- Visitors
- Real life experiences and enrichment days
- Classroom-based learning
- Small groups and 1:1
- Using a variety of different learning resources and equipment to broaden and deepen knowledge
- Child led learning
