Our curriculum is delivered through enquiries that meet the statutory requirements of the National Curriculum (https://www.gov.uk/national-curriculum/key-stage-1-and-2).  Each enquiry is planned carefully, starting with children’s current knowledge and skills, so that real progress is made. The programme is regularly reviewed to ensure compatibility with new directives or to make necessary improvements to the existing programme of work.  Our curriculum is inclusive for all and the more able are challenged according to their strengths.  

We believe that children learn best when they enjoy their learning and our various and engaging enquiries capture children’s interest from the start in our Engage launch, subsequent exciting immersive learning opportunities and exciting challenge demonstrating their learning throughout the enquiry.     

Pupils are able to share their learning with each other and their parents and carers through school based exhibitions, performances, competitions and events involving other schools.  Developing children’s independence and motivation as learners and their sense of responsibility as future citizens is at the heart of all our teaching and learning.

Our curriculum is further enriched through local community visits and projects, school trips, visiting speakers and residential trips.  We firmly believe that real life experiences like these create lasting memories and strengthen the learning happening in school.  We also have an excellent range of after school clubs including football, art, allotment, music, cooking and construction.

The curriculum is underpinned by the Christian values of Generosity, Friendship, Respect, Forgiveness, Compassion and Courage and these are taught through the curriculum and in collective worships.  We actively promote the fundamental British Values of Democracy, Rule of Law, Individual Liberty, Mutual Respect and Tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.  The spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of our pupils is woven throughout the curriculum.
