Our topic plans are at the bottom of this page.
The school curriculum meets all the requirements of the National Curriculum 2014 and the 1988 Education Act which stated that all children are entitled to a curriculum which is balanced, broadly based which, ‘promotes the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of pupils at the school and of society’ and ‘prepares pupils for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of adult life.’
As a Church of England school this is done while ensuring that it is grounded in a Christian world view and in line with our Christian values.
The curriculum is arranged into Core Subjects:
English; Mathematics; Science; Religious Education;
The other curriculum areas form the Foundation Subjects:
Computing; History; Art; Design Technology; Geography; Music; Modern Foreign Languages; Physical Education; Personal, Moral, Social and Cultural Education.
The school also ensures that the main outcomes of the Every Child Matters Agenda are threaded throughout the curriculum to allow children to develop holistically in all areas.
These outcomes are:
Being Safe; Being Healthy; Economic Well-Being;
Enjoying and Achieving; Making a Positive Contribution.
Learning is based around overarching topic themes for each half term and is organised in such a way that the needs of all children are catered for.
Curriculum planning is such that the learning is relevant to children and will stimulate, engage and inspire them.
The School uses a combination of Reading Books based around the Oxford Reading Tree and Rigby Rocket schemes.
For the teaching of Phonics the School follows the Read, Write Inc programme.
For Early Phonological Awareness the School uses the Letters and Sounds programme (in Nursery).
Enrichment activities and visits enhance and extend the learning which takes place in school.
