Curriculum Highlights

Oracy – we use the power of talk to engage interest, promote deep thinking and social skills and empower children for lifelong learning. Reading – we prioritise the importance of reading as the key to accessing the curriculum. We promote a love of reading and ensure that children develop their knowledge through high-quality texts and resources. Experiences – we build pupils’ cultural capital and develop their background knowledge of the world. We carefully plan experiences to immerse and ignite curiosity. Memory and recall – we design lessons that support children with making changes to their long term memory and increasing their independence. History and Geography are taught in discrete blocks with driving questions; Art and DT are taught in blocks; Science, RE, Music, French, PSHE, Computing and PE are taught throughout the year.
