14.THE CURRICULUM

The school offers a broad, balanced and differentiated curriculum covering all areas of the National Curriculum. This comprises of the core subjects – English, Mathematics, Science and ICT and the foundation subjects – Design Technology, History, Geography, Art, Music and Physical Education. Personal, Social and Health Education is also taught through our assemblies and creative curriculum. Our curriculum policies specify teaching strategies and set achievement targets for the children. Parents are very welcome to read our policies, and ask for any further clarification.

We do our utmost to maximise success for all children by giving them the best teaching and learning experiences. We use a range of teaching methods to suit the needs of the children and the subjects being taught. The core subjects are taught both stand alone and as part of our creative curriculum in which the foundation subjects are taught as part of a themed termly topic.

Religious Education is also part of the National Curriculum. The acknowledgement of the different traditions and faiths represented within our school community and the wider world is an important element of the policy.

The school respects the legal right of any parent to withdraw his/her child with regard to RE.
