Our Curriculum Journey at Ixworth CE Primary School
In pupil surveys, our children are very clear about loving the practical element of lessons. Their particular favourites continue to be Maths, PE and Art/Design. (Pupil Survey February 2022)
Our vision statement is On a journey together where learning has no limits.
Two important elements of this statement for us are that we:
work together as a team
have high expectations for all our children
Our Curriculum Intent
Develop aspirational schemes of learning using excellent published schemes written by experts to support teacher subject knowledge and workload and offer a broad and balanced curriculum.
Use a meta cognitive approach which helps our children to become independent and autonomous learners for the future.
Use an inquiry based and dialogic approach to learning as our children tell us they love to talk and to ask and answer questions.
Use a clearly scaffolded approach to teaching so that all children are set up ready to achieve.
Use a practical approach where children get to experience the concrete before moving to forms that are more abstract.
Work using the principles of implementation (EEF December 2019) so that the team work on one area at one time for maximum impact.
