Maths
Mathematics is taught through the long term curriculum planning taken from the White Rose Maths Hub. This offers teachers the flexibility to incorporate Mathematics into all areas of the curriculum, ensuring that learning is challenging and effective.
Science
Pupils are given the opportunity to develop their scientific understanding through exploration and investigation. Pupils are encouraged to hypothesise and predict; design and carry out investigations; interpret results and findings; draw inferences and communicate their ideas.
Geography
Pupils investigate a variety of people, places and environments during their time at school. They carry out geographical enquiry inside and outside the classroom. They use geographical skills and resources such as maps; atlases; aerial photographs and ICT to ask and answer geographical questions.
Art & Design
Throughout their time at school, our children are exposed to various visual and tactile elements, materials and process, and are encouraged to communicate what they see, feel and think.
Computing
We aim for the computing curriculum to expose children to a variety of types of technology and opportunities to use different computing programs, software, and equipment throughout their learning journey.
History
Pupils learn about significant people, events and places from both the recent and more distant past. They look at history in a variety of ways, from political, economic, technological and scientific, social, religious, and cultural.
Design & Technology
In Design and Technology children use a broad range of knowledge, skills, and understanding, and prompts engagement in a wide variety of activities. Pupils design and make products that solve real and relevant problems within a variety of contexts. Through evaluation of past and present Design and Technology, they develop a critical understanding of its impact on daily life and the wider world.
French
Pupils learn French in Key Stage 2. This is a Modern Foreign Language and enables our pupils to develop communication and literacy skills that lay the foundation for future language learning. As well as developing their linguistic competence, learning another language raises awareness of the multilingual and multicultural world we live in, and encourages tolerance and understanding of others.
PE
PE and Sporting provision ensures that our children have the chance to participate and excel in a wide range of sports delivered by both teaching staff and professional coaches.
All KS2 children are also provided with supervised swimming lessons at Billie Fins Swimming Pool.
Music
Musical performance is an important part of a child’s musical education and to this end we ensure that all children have the opportunity to perform regularly, through production and assemblies, music concert, various competitions, festivals, links with other schools and the wider community.
RE
At school we promote respect and tolerance. Children are introduced to six religious traditions (Christianity, Hinduism, Buddihsm, Islam, Judaism, Sikhism) in the course of their time at the school, and great care is taken to ensure that all beliefs are valued.
