Overview
The Curriculum is all the planned activities that the school organises in order to promote learning, personal growth and development.
It includes not only the formal requirements of the National Curriculum, but also the range of additional opportunities that the school organises in order to enrich the experiences of our children. This includes a range of ‘Enjoyment and Enrichment’ opportunities available to our children across all year groups.
Both or our schools aim to provide a curriculum that meets the social and academic potential for every pupil.
All children in school follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum in the Nursery and Reception classes and the National Curriculum in the rest of the school. In addition, children are taught RE, Personal, Social and Health Education.
The National Curriculum is divided into:
Core Subjects: English, Mathematics and Science.
Foundation Subjects: Art and Design, Computing, Design and Technology, Languages, Geography, History, Music and Physical Education.
In each class, children will work in either mixed-ability groups or ability groups depending on the subjects and the task to be completed. Each class is taught by a teacher, who is supported in their work by additional staff, such as teachers, nursery nurses and teaching assistants.
