‘The school has an ethos
that displays Christian
love and care in action.’
OFSTED
The ‘basic’ school curriculum includes the ‘National Curriculum’
(NC) as well as religious education and sex education. In order
to ensure children experience exciting and vibrant learning
opportunities which deliver the National Curriculum in a more
integrated way we use a thematic topic based approach
that includes trips, visitors and theme days. This enables a
more bespoke and personalised curriculum to be offered,
which fosters a high level of enthusiasm and a thirst for more
knowledge and understanding, underpinned by key skills and
attitudes.
At KS1 (infants) the emphasis is on basic skills of literacy and
numeracy, phonics and developing fundamental skills for
learning. This is delivered via formal teaching and learning
opportunities, independent learning in continuous provision
and outdoor learning experiences.
