Our Curriculum

All of the children in Years 1 to 6 are taught the National Curriculum which was launched in September 2014. This curriculum is more challenging than the previous curriculum, particularly in English and Maths but our pupils are all enjoying the challenge. We aim to provide a wide enriched curriculum which is based on topics. In the morning, pupils focus on their key skills of reading, writing and maths.  In the afternoon they use these skills across a wide range of curriculum areas.

We follow the Read, Write Inc. phonics programme throughout EYFS & KS1. This is used to support children higher up the school when necessary.

Children are encouraged to choose books from the wide selection available, which broadly follows the Book Band Colour Scheme. After lunch every class takes part in DEAR time (DROP EVERYTHING AND READ). This includes a range of activities including reading chapter books, sharing a class book or buddy reading. Please see the English page below for more information.

We are using Grammarsaurus for English, Reading and Writing lessons. We're also using this for the children to practise their spellings.
