Curriculum

We believe that it is essential that learning is contextualised and that children have the opportunity to transfer their learning to different subject areas. Knowledge, concepts and skills need to be applied across a range of subjects as this facilitates comprehension. For this reason we follow a thematic approach to our curriculum planning with history, geography and science providing context for our English lessons.

High quality literature supports our teaching - we try to keep abreast of new books and authors.  See here for which books link to each theme: Literature spine 2021

In EYFS we ensure a balance of ‘Understanding the world’, ‘Expressive arts and design’ and literature themes.

 In Key Stage 1 (KS1) computing, art and DT are linked to the overarching themes where possible. Where science is not the lead subject it is taught discretely, as are maths, music, P.S.H.E, HRE,  P.E. and R.E.
