Common Values
and Purpose –
Encouraging
Children’s Learning
The new values and themed based curriculum was put
into place across the Federation in September 2012 and
has been updated annually, allowing greater flexibility in
planning to meet the needs of the individual, within each class
through quality first teaching.
Our
Values Based Curriculum
relates to the values and ethos
developed through our School Councils, Collective Worship and the
SMSC, thereby empowering children to take ownership of their learning
throughout the new curriculum.
