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.

Through focussed teaching of synthetic phonics pupils will be able to blend sounds together to make words. This will support them to decode words they meet when they read.

We believe that all our children can become fluent and accurate readers. They will develop their early reading skills, using their phonic knowledge and blending skills to read a range of texts.

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.

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.
