Information on our Curriculum
Wider curriculum subjects are taught through a thematic (topic) based approach, planned for in line with the expectations of the National Curriculum.
The current cycle runs on a 2 year programme enabling teachers to plan in year group teams and ensuring that all children in the same year group receive the same opportunities irrespective of which class they are in.
In KS1, the wider curriculum subjects are often taught through play projects, focusing on developing independence in skills. Teachers provide opportunities for learners to use their own interests to initiate learning paths, to promote life‐long learning. Discreet subject specific knowledge lessons are delivered, as necessary, to support the play projects.
Wider curriculum learning is displayed in each classroom on displays, promoting substantive knowledge and the key vocabulary of current learning.
Further enrichment opportunities are planned for to support an engaging curriculum for example, RE visits and Arts Week.
We are in the process of reviewing our wider curriculum and will be uploading the new learning journeys.
