Our curriculum is based around our 7 school values of Curiosity, Creativity, Communication, Confidence, Courage, Compassion and Connections. We have high expectations and aspirations for all our pupils, and we have a clear curriculum intent for all our pupils.

Our school follows the National Curriculum Programme of Study.

Our Long Term Curriculum Plan

We have developed our curriculum to meet the needs and interests of our children and the school community, whilst following the National Curriculum and aiming at all times to develop our school values within all our learning.

We have a 4-year-long term plan in KS2 and a 3-year-long term plan in Reception and KS1. Every term has either a History or Geography Core Topic, supported by a motivating related key English text. We then teach all our other subjects linked to this core topic, so that our children have a really deep understanding of the topic along with a rich vocabulary that they can use in other subject areas.

Maths, RE, PE, PSHE and some areas of music are, however, usually still taught discreetly. 

Each subject area is planned to ensure that our children make progress as they move through our school, and have achieved both the school’s aims for themselves, and the national curriculum’s aims by the time they leave at the end of Year 6.
