Introduction to our Curriculum

INTRODUCTION

 

When developing our curriculum, our first priority is that it meets the needs of every child and develops them as well-rounded, lifelong learners. We place high value on inclusion and work hard to ensure every child has equal access to all aspects of the curriculum.

 

Another priority is that our curriculum is broad and balanced, allowing children to develop their skills across many subjects. We make links between subjects to maximise learning opportunities and to help children think creatively. We increasingly make use of our school environment to create opportunities for wider learning and to really enthuse and excite children. 

 

EARLY YEARS

 

Much of our curriculum for early years (Nursery and Reception) is developed from the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage. We enhance this using children's interests as our stimulus to provide enriching activities and events such as visits into the local community and, where appropriate, further afield.

KEY STAGES 1 AND 2

 

Much of our curriculum for key stages 1 and 2 (Years 1 to 6) is developed from the statutory National Curriculum. Again, children's interests and local, national and international events are used to ensure our curriculum is relevant and develops children academically, physically, morally and spiritual
