Curriculum

Topics are used as a basis of planning and of providing connections and continuity across and within curriculum areas. This approach involves careful planning and incorporates the requirements of the National Curriculum. We also recognise that it is not always possible to cover all the requirements through topic work. Some curriculum areas may be taught as discrete subjects.

These National Curriculum subjects are taught throughout the school; English, Mathematics, Science, Design Technology, Art and Design, Music, History, Geography, Physical Education, Religious Education.

In Years 3,4 5 and 6  French is added to the timetable; Year 6 also experiences Swimming. PSHE and Sex Education occurs in all years as part of the children’s personal and social development.

National Guidance on the development of cross-curricular themes is considered in our planning.

Curricular matters are developed with reference to local and national curriculum policies and schemes of work which have been considered and accepted by the school governors and staff.
