        Curriculum      

We teach a broad and balanced Curriculum with the Four Purposes at the centre of all our planning. We aim to make our pupils ambitious, capable learners who are healthy confident individuals. We want our pupils to become enterprising, creative contributors who are ethically informed citizens. The curriculum we teach is planned under six areas of learning ; Expressive Arts, Health and Well Being, Humanities, Languages, Literacy and Communication, Mathematics and Numeracy and Science and Technology. The Digital Competence Framework and Literacy and Numeracy Framework are integral to planning and taught across the curriculum.

We are always striving to make our pupils independent learners who are motivated and enthusiastic. It is important to us that the learning in our school is child centred and Pupil Voice is integral to our planning, teaching and learning.  In class, focus tasks are taught in ‘bubbles’ with an adult supporting, guiding and challenging all. Learning outside the ‘bubbles’ takes place in our enhanced provision which children access independently. These activities provide authentic contexts for learning and build on previous knowledge and skills. We constantly encourage collaborative work involving problem solving and creative and critical thinking. The strategies we use encourage pupils to take responsibility for their own learning helping them become ambitious and capable learners.
