Curriculum Policy & Overview

Download our Curriculum Policy HERE

We follow the National Curriculum and use a topic-based approach to learning. Children are immersed in a topic for a term and all of their writing is linked to the topic. Other curriculum areas are linked where possible but we still teach discrete subjects and some learning may be stand-alone. 

We involve pupils in their learning through regular 'Pupil Voice' sessions and invite parents in to regular showcase events (see example summaries below).

Due to the fact we have mixed year groups in school, topics are on a two-year cycle - meaning that pupils will not repeat learning from a previous year. We include short 'supplementary topics' to enable the children to make links with previous learning and to ensure coverage of the whole curriculum. 

Please see the curriculum overviews below for more detail about what goes in each topic. This was reviewed in Summer 2019 and is a working document. You can look at the individual pages for each class to download topic overviews If you have any questions, please speak to your child's teacher.
