At Our School, we believe that our curriculum should be challenging, exciting, enjoyable, and relevant. We strive to meet the needs of all children across the spectrum of abilities; we regard each of the children in our care as special and unique individuals. We recognize the entitlement of every child to have access to a broad, balanced and differentiated curriculum, irrespective of gender, race, colour or particular needs.
Our aim is to develop the ‘whole’ child intellectually, physically, emotionally, socially and spiritually. We strive to foster a caring, family atmosphere where children take responsibility for their actions and we expect high standards of behaviour and respect for other people and their possessions.
We are developing a curriculum that promotes a more creative approach to learning in our school. It is based on the key concepts and principles of the ‘National Curriculum’, ‘Excellence and Enjoyment’, and the five outcomes of the’ Every Child Matters’ agenda
1 - be healthy
2 - stay safe
3 - enjoy and achieve
4 - make a positive contribution
5 - achieve economic well-being
This approach to the curriculum is a skills based approach. The key concepts, principles and themes of the above documentation have been developed into more creative cross-curricular themes through which the children are helped to develop along a skills and attitudes continuum. The intention is to give children, teachers and teaching assistants more opportunity to explore their own creativity and to explore their own lines of learning.
