Our Curriculum
What’s on this page?
Our curriculum reflects the requirements of the National Curriculum programmes of study, which all maintained schools in England must teach.
Curriculum Intent
All children learn, practice, develop and refine a wide range of skills in their work across the curriculum. Every child’s ability is recognised, developed and rewarded with our curriculum tailored to meet individual needs and aspirations. We have high expectations and a strong focus on literacy and numeracy across the curriculum.
We promote enjoyment for learning and encourage children to work independently, with partners and in groups helping them embed social skills though collaboration and cooperation. To meet each child’s individual needs, we provide extra support, enrichment and new challenges to help every child fulfil their potential.
Pupil engagement is key to pupil success and we plan relevant, enjoyable and interesting experiences to broaden thinking and develop a love of lifelong learning. All children access a wide range of extra-curricular activities - we welcome visitors, plan exciting trips off site and organise residential stays to Heatree to support learning and enthuse and inspire.
Alongside the statutory National Curriculum, PSHE and RE, our curriculum also includes the ‘hidden curriculum’. We aim to teach children how to grow into positive, responsible people, who can work and co-operate with others while developing knowledge and skills and crucially achieve all that they can.
The links below outline the curriculum during the academic year for each year group and the termly overviews.
