Curriculum Introduction
Our Curriculum
A well designed, ambitious and high quality curriculum that allows us to fulfill our vision is the foundation of our successful school. It is delivered with consistently good teaching, stimulating and creative learning opportunities, the acquisiton of substantive and disciplinary knowledge and the application of skills. We have carefully crafted a progressive learning journey for our children that builds on the strong foundations of learning that begin in Reception and develop as they move through the school.
Reading, Phonics, Writing and Maths
We have clearly laid our intent and strategies for teaching all of the core curriculum areas and these can be found in the sidebar. You will also find some useful links to websites that will help you support your child with their home learning.
Wider Curriculum
Information about all of our wider curriculum subjects can be found by browsing the various documents in the sidebar.
Personal Development and SMSC
Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural (SMSC) development is the over-arching umbrella that encompasses personal development across the whole curriculum, and alongside our ambitious and rigourous academic curriculum, we are fully committed to weaving this through all that we do.
British Values
In accordance with The Department for Education we aim to actively promote British values in school to ensure young people leave school prepared for life in modern Britain. Pupils are encouraged to regard people of all faiths, races and cultures with respect and tolerance and understand that while different people may hold different views about what is ‘right’ and ‘wrong’, all people living in England are subject to its law.
The Key Values are:
-
democracy
-
rule of law
-
individual liberty
-
mutual respect
-
tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs
