Curriculum Highlights

Meets statutory requirements and is broad and balanced. Curriculum design focuses on creativity and final products/outcomes. The curriculum includes cross-curricular themes (e.g., themes like 'misunderstood monsters' and 'extreme sports'). There is a strong reading culture; pupils enjoy reading for pleasure. Pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is promoted; pupils learn about Islam and Hinduism and visit places of worship, including a local church for Christian festivals. Ofsted (May 2023) highlighted high ambitions for all groups, broad and engaging curriculum, and inclusive, harmonious school culture.

SEND Provision

Fairisle Junior School provides additional and/or different provision for a range of needs, including communication and interaction (e.g., autistic spectrum disorders, speech and language difficulties), cognition and learning (e.g., dyslexia, dyspraxia), social, emotional and mental health difficulties (e.g., ADHD), and sensory and/or physical needs (e.g., visual or hearing impairments, processing difficulties, epilepsy). Provision is decided by the class teacher and SENCO, with many pupils having IEPs. The school follows a graduated approach with assess-plan-do-review cycles, uses external services when needed, offers interventions and 1:1 or small-group support, and may seek Education, Health and Care Plans.
