Curriculum
We want our children to be happy, engaged, motivated and to enjoy their learning.
We offer a curriculum which is broad and balanced and which builds on the knowledge, understanding and skills of all children, whatever their starting points, as they progress through each Key Stage. The curriculum incorporates the statutory requirements of The National Curriculum, Core Stories and other challenging experiences and opportunities which best meet the learning and developmental needs of the pupils in our school.
Curriculum Intent
Our curriculum is based on four key aspects:
- To explicitly teach the emotional literacy and social skills needed to make our school a happy and thriving place.
- To give our children the knowledge and skills they need to understand their place in the world and be able to move to the next stage of their learning journey.
- To promote a love of reading through exposure to high quality texts and excellent reading instruction.
- To provide children with excellent teaching from skilled practitioners.
Curriculum Drivers
These will be driven by the following ideas:
- Relevance – We aim to make our learning relevant in terms of what has gone before and what will come next in our curriculum. We aim
- Curiosity - We aim to spark a love of learning in our children and inspire them for the future.
- Knowledge - We aim to provide a curriculum which is rich in the knowledge our children need.
- Fluency - We aim for our children to be fluent readers, speakers and have quick recall of the taught knowledge from our curriculum.
