Our Creative Curriculum is designed to be vibrant, interesting and fun and to grow with the children as they progress through the school. We believe in educating children for life, developing key skills for now and their future so that in time our pupils will be ready for the opportunities, challenges and responsibilities that adult life will bring.
Lessons are planned so that they are engaging and relevant, incorporating a range of outdoor learning, practical activities, technology, trips and visitors wherever possible.
Throughout our Creative Curriculum we use a theme-based approach. Each class uses an ‘umbrella’ topic each term, linking the basic skills of Maths and English to aspects of the foundation subjects, and giving the children rich opportunities to apply their understanding. This helps them to see how knowledge and skills from different subjects overlap, and supports learning across the curriculum.
The aim of our Art and Design curriculum is to develop children’s creativity, confidence and imagination, allowing them to understand their place in the world as creative and confident beings.
We help our children to be confident users of technology, allowing them to explore the ever-changing world in which we live. We want to model and educate our pupils on how to use technology positively, safely and responsibly.
The aim of our Design and Technology (DT) curriculum is to provide opportunities for children to develop their knowledge, understanding and skills in designing, making and evaluating a range of products.
We believe that a quality English curriculum should develop children’s love of reading, writing, speaking and listening. Our priorities are helping children to read and develop their all-important comprehension skills.
Our Geography curriculum supports all children in developing a deep and meaningful understanding of the world they live in. It should spark a lifelong curiosity and appreciation of places and people they have never experienced before and raise big questions about the local and international environment and its future.
