Curriculum Statement

Through our understanding of the Christian Faith, we recognise our responsibility to encourage all children to live life in all its fullness (John 10:10)

We believe that our children should:-

• Live healthy lives
• Be resilient
• Be accepting of others and celebrate difference,
• Be confident
• Have self-belief
• Have problem-solving skills
• Be able to work collaboratively with others
• Have a range of interests
• Be aspirational
• Be aware of their impact on the environment
• Be independent

Intent

Our curriculum has been designed to ensure every child can ‘live life in all its fullness’.   We aim to do this by delivering a curriculum that is underpinned by our drivers of diversity, aspiration, resilience and creativity and is designed to meet the needs of our children.  We aim to deliver the knowledge, skills and understanding set out in the national curriculum, underpinned by our Christian values, through individual and collaborative learning experiences, a sense of responsibility and challenges both in and outside of the classroom.

We are a small school with a strong family ethos and can respond to the individual needs of every child and their interest, to promote a love of learning and an awareness of the local environment and global issues.

Implementation

Our well-planned curriculum will be delivered through quality teaching.  The children will be required to work independently and in groups.  They will be offered a variety of learning opportunities through which to acquire the skills, knowledge and attitudes needed for the next steps in their education.

Impact

Our children will have the skills, knowledge and attitudes to confidently and compassionately, make a success of the next stage in their education; they will learn more, remember more, enjoy more and develop more spiritually, socially and emotionally.

Specific information about what your child will be learning this term can be found on the Individual Class Pages.  If you require further information please contact the school office or your class teacher.  

Knowledge and Remembering

We plan into our curriculum, opportunities to revisit knowledge and skills that help children retain the things they have been taught.
