Curriculum

At our school, our mission is to provide a vibrant, inclusive, and ambitious curriculum that builds confident and successful learners from Early Years onwards.

We strive to create a community where children are kind to each other first and foremost, and encourage them to value others, their views, cultures and beliefs.

We are committed to developing confident and active learners who engage fully with their learning and approach new challenges with enthusiasm. Through rich learning experiences, we help pupils become resilient and determined

Our curriculum nurtures independence and a genuine enjoyment of school life, encouraging children to take ownership of their learning and celebrate their achievements. We also promote the importance of living a healthy and active life, supporting pupils to make positive choices that contribute to their physical and mental wellbeing.

Together, these values shape a curriculum that empowers every child to flourish, succeed, and develop a lifelong love of learning.

Progression documents, with clearly identified end points, have been developed in each subject. These allow for purposeful repetition and independent application of knowledge and skills as well as broadening children’s vocabulary.

Every foundation subject follows the same lesson structure.

	Flashback Pupils are given frequent opportunities to carry out ‘flashback’ tasks from current and previous topics to ensure knowledge is fully embedded
	Question We use a ‘hook in’ approach within each lesson based around a question
	Skills/Knowledge Dual objectives are planned and well sequenced. Objectives are progressive and match the school’s assessment system.
	VIPs  Very important points. Children record their VIPs in all foundation subjects.     End of unit quizzes are used to support assessment. .
