Year Groups

We have created bespoke curriculum overviews, ensuring coherence and progression in both knowledge and skill development across all year groups in every subject. These have been designed to maximise opportunities for purposeful links between different subject disciplines whilst ensuring that each subject in the National Curriculum is taught discretely and effectively.  Our timetable is carefully structured and includes both blocked and spaced learning to ensure efficient use of resources and the retention of knowledge and skills. 

The documents below include a full-year curriculum map. To find out more about our curriculum, please contact the class teachers or our curriculum lead (Mrs Jonker).

Reception

The education our children receive in the Early Years is of vital importance. As such, the curriculum in Reception is carefully designed to ensure that progress is secured in all areas of learning. The curriculum is challenging and is structured strategically so that children develop, consolidate and deepen their knowledge, understanding and skills. Learning to read is central: staff teach children to read systematically using synthetic phonics and promote a love of reading, through reading aloud and telling stories and rhymes. Opportunities to practice reading sounds are embedded throughout many areas of the class provision. 

To ensure learning is effective in Reception, our curriculum combines:

- Playing and exploring

- Active learning

- Creative and critical thinking 

The documents below include a full-year curriculum map, curriculum overviews for all areas, and the half-termly topic overviews.

To find out more about our Reception curriculum, please contact the class teacher.
