Curriculum Overviews

Welcome to our curriculum overview pages.

We hope you find these pages useful in gaining an overview of what our children are learning each term.

Hopefully you will also notice that some of the themes are repeated as the children move from one year to the next. This is a deliberate practice to ensure that themes are covered in-depth and that learning is fixed into our children's long term memory.

We also aim to give our children a wide curriculum offer that will prepare them for their onward journey into secondary school.

 

Our curriculum pathways show the journey your child will be on throughout their time with us. Our key objective is to ensure that your child is ready for each phase of their learning, ultimately leading to them being Ready for Secondary school (Secondary Ready). The pathways show the topics taught in school and the key knowledge and skills you child will gain as they progress through the school.

The best help you can provide for your child is to try and supplement their school learning with real-life experiences at the weekends and during the school holidays. This will bring the children's learning to life and give them a greater learning experience in school.

Naturally, reading with your child everyday will also help them gain the vocabulary needed to engage fully in their learning.
