independent, self-motivated, self disciplined and responsible, respect

As well as the subjects in the National Curriculum the school
also teaches citizenship, extra swimming, environmental education, second
language (French), health education, performing arts, economic and industrial
understanding, peer group tutoring and library and research skills. Your child’s journey through education will begin with the
Foundation Stage. This is followed by four "Key stages" and your
child will be assessed at the end of each one. Key stage 1 -ages 5 to 7 Key stage 2 -ages 7 to 11 Key stage 3 -ages 11 to 14 Key stage 4 -ages 14 to 16 For a more detailed account of what you
can expect during your child’s school career
From the very beginning of your child’s education, we have high
expectations of his/her behaviour and achievements in school. We endeavour to install in the children that good manners,
consideration for others and courtesy, are very important qualities. Throughout all activities in school the Staff ensure equal
opportunities both of gender or race.
Every parent wants to know how his or her child is progressing. The National Curriculum provides attainment targets in each
subject that sets out what the pupil should know, understand and be able to
do. In class, the teacher will assess your child’s work throughout
each term. There are also "Standards Tests and Tasks" at the end
of each key stage. Each attainment target has 10 levels which covers Key
Stage 1 to 3. Your child will start towards level 1 and climb as high as they
can during their time at school. They may progress at different rates in
different subjects or in different areas of the same subject. Children are taught in both single and mixed age classes with
class teachers catering for differing abilities within each class. The member of staff with responsibility for Special Educational
Needs liaises closely with class teachers and individual work/programs of
study are provided for children with particular needs in any area of the
curriculum.
At the beginning of every term a
curriculum information letter is sent home. To request a copy of this term’s
curriculum letters go to the Letters page This details what topics or aspects of the National Curriculum
or Foundation Stage (as appropriate) are going to be covered that term. We do our best to ensure that parents are well informed about
the curriculum. We also organise Curriculum Evenings that focus upon a particular
subject, to provide additional information for parents. |
