THE CURRICULUM

In broad terms the Primary Curriculum today is concerned with the development of children intellectually, emotionally, socially, physically and morally so that they may lead full and useful lives both now and in the future. It is, therefore, the aim of our school to provide a happy and stimulating environment in which opportunities are provided for the children to acquire the necessary skills and concepts to develop and extend their understanding both of themselves and the world in which they live. In this way we hope that all our children will grow in confidence and reach their full potential.

We hope to achieve our aims by a variety of teaching methods dependent upon the particular needs of the class or subject being taught at any one time. These methods will include class, group or individual teaching. The groups may be of a social, intellectual or vertical composition, directed or not by the teacher according to the task in hand.

The curriculum to which each child is entitled has been laid down by the National Curriculum, ensuring the development of a child moving through the school. The subjects of Religious Education, English, Mathematics, Science, Art, History, Geography, Music, Physical Education, I.C.T and Design and Technology form the content of the curriculum for each year group.

In addition to the above the school curriculum also addresses cross-curricular issues such as Personal, Social and Health Education, including Citizenship and Multi-cultural Education.

We feel that the whole ethos of our school is reflected in the positive attitudes and sound values of all those who work with and for our children.
