Curriculum Highlights

The academy fully follows the UK primary national curriculum and offers an enrichment week and broader opportunities for children. Power Maths textbooks are used in maths with a Singapore/Shanghai mastery approach and a concrete-pictorial-abstract progression. Textbooks are aligned to the National Curriculum and are recommended by the UK Department for Education. The English curriculum uses Read Write Inc. for phonics and reading, with a focus on reading fluency, comprehension and writing skills. Accelerated Reader is used to quiz children on the books they have read to tailor book recommendations, with home reading recorded in planners. Praising Stars reports provide information on effort, attendance, targets and predictions, and there is a Learning Model with 10 key qualities/skills for learning. The curriculum emphasises broad, balanced learning and aims to enable access to the full curriculum through high-quality modelling, intervention and independent practice.
