Our curriculum

About our curriculum

We are committed to the development of the whole child through the provision of a progressive connected curriculum which nurtures and celebrates children’s knowledge, skills and talents. We aim to develop wider personal skills through our breadth, including enrichment activities from welcoming visitors, trips and celebrations which are linked to our personalised themes.

Our curriculum is a vehicle that can enable each child to flourish through the way we interweave the knowledge, skills and themes so that we may promote wisdom and life in all its fullness.

Our interwoven connections between subject disciplines make explicit the opportunities to consolidate concepts and apply them wisely across linked areas. This also supports memory acquisition in learning.

Character development and social justice is woven through narrative enabling children to learn to be courageous advocates through our carefully chosen stories, ensuring all are included. Philosophy for children and an enquiry-based approach to learning is how we value the learning journey and promote curiosity and humanity.

Entrance and exit points mark the journey with assessment opportunities interwoven from feedback to quizzes. The themes, that change half termly, are communicated to our pupils and parents via class newsletters. These outline project linked home learning and our knowledge organisers support and deepen acquisition, memory growth at home and school so that we work as a community to educate the child.
