Curriculum

We are dedicated to achieving the full potential of all children, by providing education of the highest quality, within a rewarding, enjoyable and meaningful curriculum that fosters a love for learning.

Good standards of teaching, supported by rigorous assessment procedures ensure good progress and are enhanced through opportunities for pupils to personalise and extend their learning.

Themed projects, activity days, research, new technologies and a range of engaging teaching and learning styles are used to enrich pupil's experience.

The National Curriculum divides into Core and Foundation subject areas at Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. We teach each of these subjects as both discreet subjects and within topics that encourage children to develop their skills, motivation and resilience through a cross-curricular approach.

For more information on the curriculum, please visit the Government's National Primary Curriculum website or see our own Curriculum Policy on our Policies page.

Curriculum Plans

Children in Key Stage 1 follow a two-year curriculum plan. Children in Key Stage 2 follow a four-year plan for Humanities with a two-year rolling programme for Years 3 and 4 and Years 5 and 6 for other foundation subjects.
