Our broad and balanced school curriculum is based on four themes across the academic year. We strongly believe in a hands on approach to learning and giving our children the opportunity to immerse themselves in their learning through visits and visitors. We use literature to support learning across the curriculum and enable children to develop good communication skills both orally and in writing. Childrens’ mathematical understanding is underpinned by the application of skills in a range of different contexts. We want all our children to take ownership of their learning, having a keen interest in the world around them and an understanding of the role they play within it.

To help create an exciting curriculum we aim to provide a hook into learning through the use of pictures, videos, artefacts or visits. In addition, we provide as many opportunities as possible to create cross curricular links across subjects, therefore making learning relevant and interesting. Furthermore, we encourage collaborative and cooperative learning through the use of Kagan to promote discussion, team work and inspirational ideas.

We provide opportunities for each child’s work to be recognised though the form of merit assemblies, head teacher awards, celebration of work on displays or the website.

We are proud of the many themed occasions we hold such as Eisteddfod, Athletics week, Recital evenings and performances to promote parental engagement and appreciation for the wider curriculum. We offer a range of opportunities for children to take part in a range of after school clubs dedicated to the wider curriculum.
