The National Curriculum
Early Years Foundation Stage
Our youngest children follow the Early Years Foundation Stage. There are seven areas of the curriculum - Communication and Language, Literacy, Maths, Physical Development, Personal, Social and Emotional Development, Expressive Art and Design and Understanding the World.
The National Curriculum for Key Stage One and Two
In Years One - Six, the children are taught the National Curriculum and will study English, Maths, Science, Computing, Religious Education, History, Geography, Design Technology, Art, Music and Physical Education. In Years 3 - 6, our children learn French. The framework of the National Curriculum is used when planning our schemes of work for the children.
We are following the National Curriculum that was launched in September 2014. The guides below give excellent information outlining what has changed and what your child will be taught in each year group.
Please check the tabs to the left for information for each subject, including termly Knowledge Organisers to show you what we are teaching in each topic.
Shining Light Ambassadors
For each of our curriculum subjects, we have a "Shining Light Ambassador", someone who has inspired us to think more deeply about each area of our curriculum.
