Curriculum Overview

Our school values (Striving for Excellence, Creating Opportunities and Nurturing One Another) and motto (Better Never Stops) run through all aspects of our curriculum. We aim to enrich children’s lives to ensure that they are prepared for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences they may face in later life. 

Our curriculum is based on the National Curriculum for England with a clear progression of skills and knowledge outlined for each curriculum subject.

Subjects are led by our experienced and passionate staff, who ensure high-quality teaching and learning across the curriculum. Our subjects include:

  • Maths
  • English – Reading (including Phonics) and Writing (including Grammar, Punctuation, and Spelling)
  • Science
  • Design Technology
  • Computing
  • Geography
  • History
  • Religious Education (RE)
  • Modern Foreign Languages- French
  • Music
  • Art and Design
  • PSHE/RSE
  • Physical Education (PE)

Staff  regularly  review the content and quality of their subject areas, provide training for colleagues, and organise whole-school activities and events. Each subject also has a dedicated school governor who offers support and challenge to ensure the highest standards are maintained.

 

Curriculum drivers and key concepts

Throughout school, we will exploit every opportunity for children to experience the following curriculum drivers in order to help them in becoming successful, well-rounded members of our community:

  • developing Reading skills
  • leading healthy lifestyles including mental well-being
  • acquiring new vocabulary
  • using technology
  • practising speaking and listening skills
  • widening experiences
  • learning about the world around them
  • thinking about the future
  • fostering positive attitudes to learning
  • engaging with the community and local area.

Furthermore, we aim for children to have developed a strong understanding of the following generic key concepts (detailed in the image below) which will be re-visited continuously throughout a range of subjects. These concepts also include the fundamental British Values as shown in bold in the ‘Being Human’ concept.
