Welcome To Our Curriculum Information Page

Curriculum Rationale

We believe that our broad and balanced curriculum should develop both knowledge and skills; it should encourage independence, curiosity, creativity and resilience; produce collaborators, innovators, leaders. It should prepare children to be confident to take the next steps in their education.

Our curriculum is based on Development Matters and The National Curriculum in England (2014). 

Structure and Organisation:

Active Learning:

  • To seek out and enjoy challenges
  • To collaborate with others
  • To show commitment and perseverance
  • Assess themselves and others

Basic Skills:

  • To speak clearly and convey ideas confidently
  • To read and communicate ideas in writing efficiently and effectively.
  • To calculate efficiently and apply skills to solve problems
  • To use new technologies confidently and purposefully

Creative Thinking:

  • To ask questions to extend their thinking
  • To generate ideas and explore possibilities
  • To overcome barriers by trying out alternatives or new solutions
  • To connect ideas and experiences in inventive ways

Children are encouraged to take responsibility for their learning.  Children work alongside experts and professionals, take part in visits and residential trips and learn both indoors and out.  We encourage children to work collaboratively, flexibly and with high levels of independence.          

We have consistently high expectations of learning and outcomes.  Children are encouraged to improve their learning at every stage and in all subjects. They are encouraged to never settle for anything other than their best work.
