Curriculum

Curriculum Overview

Through our specially curated curriculum tailored to cater for both Nursery and Reception, we aim to prepare our children for KS1 through a variety of different means. The first of which is creating a highly aspirational curriculum, aimed at providing children with the foundational knowledge they will require as they progress throughout their educational careers. Careful consideration is given to ensuring that all of the key knowledge that the children will require as they progress into first reception and then KS1 is covered in a meaningful and accessible way – more information on this can be found in our stepping stones document and in our long and medium term plans. Both our long and medium term plans are subject to change as we aim as much as possible to follow the children’s interests and adapt our curriculum where necessary to ensure it is suitable for each individual cohort.

Lesson Planning and Provision

Our team take pride in creating well-planned and resourced lessons and activities intended to promote progression and engagement. Our lessons are characterised by enthusiasm and are carefully planned to effectively retrieve and build upon prior learning. We take steps to promote progression of learners of all abilities the ensuring efficient scaffolds and challenges are implemented as and when needed. Our provision enhancements change regularly to reflect weekly themes and the children’s interests, allowing for a more learner-led approach to learning. We pride ourselves on our quality interactions, creating a language-rich environment which allows our pupils to flourish.
