Our Curriculum - The Big Picture

Big Picture of our Curriculum

'Together, we RISE to the Challenge'

Our School Vision

We deliver a curriculum that is broad, balanced, relevant and differentiated, to take account of individual strengths and weaknesses whilst providing for progression and continuity. We achieve this through a creative learning approach. Teaching styles are varied and flexible to provide individuals, groups and classes with a stimulating and secure environment.
Our curriculum, which has recently been updated, in line with Curriculum 2014, is under constant review to enable us to meet the needs of our pupils whilst maintaining high expectations and setting challenging targets.

EYFS Guidance

Apart from EYFS, our children are taught in vertically grouped classes. This will mean that they access a curriculum that has a two year cycle. The objectives from the documents below are selected by the teachers - to match what children need to learn - their next steps. Each document identifies where these objectives are taken from.

In EYFS and Year 1 we follow the 'Letters and Sounds' phonics programme.
