Your child's learning journey will be much more than just core curriculum.....
We have an obvious focus on the core skills of reading, writing and mathematics; but, we also pride ourselves in making our curriculum broad, exciting and relevant, prompting Ofsted to state that we have 'a rich and broad curriculum in place, with a wide variety of high-quality enrichment experiences.'
Following our Ofsted, we particularly focused on broadening our curriculum to enhance the skills of science and humanities. Last year we focused on art and creative skills so that now our curriculum is of outstanding quality across all subjects. In addition our teaching promotes reasoning skills, deeper thinking and reflection through thoughtful questioning and learning design. Our ultimate vision is to help our children to develop into kind, confident and well rounded individuals, who are proud of their own achievements. Indeed our aspirational culture is one where children are keen to give back to the wider community and excel in learning.
Provision is high quality throughout the school with a focus on learning skills of determination and creativity. Early Years planning ensures exciting learning opportunities and incorporates Forest School with 2 qualified practitioners and an exciting outdoor site of our own including an enclosed supervised pond area. Children are well prepared for Key Stage 1 where they experience success through differentiated phonics provision, development of maths mastery and a continuing exciting curriculum so that in Key Stage 2 they have strong foundation skills to build upon.
Children become confident, responsible learners who strive to reach their full potential in all areas of learning and are ready for their next steps at secondary school.
