Learning and Curriculum

Learning

The curriculum which we offer to all of our children is based on the requirements of the National Curriculum. Our school is organised as follows:

Key Stage 2 (7-11 years) – Years 3, 4, 5 and 6.

The National Curriculum subjects taught in Key Stages 2 are:

English;
Mathematics;
Science;
Art & Design;
Computing;
Design and Technology;
Geography;
History;
Languages;
Music; and
Physical Education.

Personal, Social and Health Education are also taught to all year groups.

All subjects and areas of learning are carefully planned to give each child appropriate, memorable experiences and the opportunity to achieve his/her full potential. Each class is part of the whole school and as a result does not work independently. A themed, topic approach is used where possible, to enable our pupils to make links in their learning. Our school curriculum is planned very carefully, with a two year cycle in Year 3/4 and in Years 5/6
