Year 1
Our Creative Curriculum
“ The curriculum gives pupils ample opportunities to take part in sporting activities and competitions. There are a good range of much-enjoyed clubs on offer for them. Pupils can speak confidently about the religions they learn about.”
(Ofsted 2020).
We have developed a creative curriculum where lessons are enhanced and brought to life through drama, role play, talk, hands on experience, ICT, pupil involvement and use of our unique learning environment. We strive to teach a curriculum in which pupils feel empowered by the learning opportunities offered to them.
Each term classes explore different elements of the National Curriculum subjects through thematic topics. Each topic allows teachers to create meaningful learning opportunities for the pupils, where children explore and learn the knowledge, skills, processes and attitudes necessary for life in the 21st century.
In Year 1, we follow the Phonics Bug Programme to support the teaching of Phonics.
