Staff have high expectations for all and use a wide range of teaching styles and structures to meet the social, emotional and academic needs of all pupils to enable them to engage well and be well prepared for school life and beyond. Pupils reflect on their own and others' beliefs and values, including British Values, through a broad and balanced curriculum. Use of ‘We Believe’ time encompasses our PSHE curriculum, SMSC provision, RSHE and British Values.
Through each subject, we encourage children to become independent learners by nurturing and developing their investigative and problem solving skills in a wide range of activities. Children are also encouraged to monitor and evaluate their own learning, to become actively engaged in their education. Children are regularly assessed to ensure their next steps in learning are appropriate and they are continually stretched to be the best that they can be.
Subject Teaching
We teach the full range of subjects and these are planned and delivered as stand-alone subjects with developing links established between subjects and topics.
Subject teaching is delivered in teaching blocks. Teaching and learning focuses on one main foundation subject during block teaching and this builds knowledge and skills within a focused and immersive experience.
Meeting Individual Needs
By adapting activities to children’s individual abilities and interests, we give each child the opportunity to experience success as we believe achievement builds confidence alongside competence. Targeted teaching and learning supplements the curriculum to support children who require adaptations to the curriculum. Support is targeted appropriately to challenge all learners, including developing pupils’ individual interests and raising their aspirations. This supports pupils of all abilities.
