Curriculum

Children will discover that maths is fun, exciting and will provide them with a set of tools for everyday life. Our mastery approach will develop a deep understanding of mathematical concepts.

At Millbrook Infant school we want our children to become fluent, competent and confident readers and writers. There are many areas of the English curriculum including reading, starting with a solid understanding of phonics, writing, grammar, spelling, handwriting and speaking and listening.

A high-quality art and design curriculum should engage, inspire and challenge children, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to experiment, invent and create their own art.

Through our computing curriculum we start to equip children to participate in a rapidly changing world where work and leisure activities are increasingly transformed by technology.

Our DT curriculum encourages children to use their creativity and imagination to design and make a range of products and reflect and evaluate upon their own work and that of others.

The curriculum in the Early Years provides a broad and balanced education that meets the needs of all children and them to gain important skills, knowledge and understanding.

Parents/carers may withdraw their children from all or part of the Religious Education, provided they give written notification to the school.
