Curriculum Highlights

The curriculum follows the national curriculum. Phonics is prioritized when children join the school to support reading development. Key vocabulary is identified and taught, with a focus on the etymology of words. Curriculum is knowledge-rich and coherently sequenced from EYFS to Year 6 with retrieval practice to embed learning. Explicit connections between subjects and opportunities for hands-on experiences, trips and visitors. Pedagogy is research-led, with staff training using Tom Sherrington’s Walkthrus and Rosenshine’s Principles, and sharing good practice via IRIS technology. The I.M.A.G.I.N.E. values are integrated with the curriculum.
