Curriculum

Foundation:

Foundation teachers aim to be approachable and establish a confident, positive dialogue with you and your child.

We believe that children in Foundation should experience a happy, caring environment to enable them to reach their full potential. We recognise that each child develops in different ways and at different times and, therefore, ensure that they have appropriate levels of learning.  We encourage the children to become self-motivated, self-organised, responsible and considerate to others and their surroundings.

Key Stage 1

Key Stage One consists of Year 1 and Year 2.

We aim to enrich the learning process of pupils through providing a stimulating environment and establishing self-discipline and independence in order to prepare them for becoming responsible junior children.

We ensure that your child is happy in order to achieve his/her highest potential.  We also foster confidence, independence, motivation, organisation, responsibility and mutual respect between class members.

Key Stage 2

Key Stage Two consists of Year 3 through to Year 6.

By the end of Key Stage 2 they will be working towards the KS2 Assessment Tests.  With these aims in mind staff present an attractive and stimulating atmosphere in which the children can learn with confidence and support.  Our aim is to foster and develop every child’s learning, physically, intellectually, emotionally and socially, so that they may attain their best. This is achieved using detailed Programmes of Study backed up by a dedicated team of professionals, who have your child’s education as their most important concern.

Our aim is to provide children in Years 3 to 6 with an excellent education in a caring and enriched environment, in order to reach their full potential.  We believe that enjoyment and willingness to learn are key factors in your child’s success at school. Pupils learn effectively when they are positive, confident and have high expectations of themselves. We recognise that children develop in different ways and at different rates and therefore ensure that each child has appropriate levels of work.

We want them to feel secure, so they may strive to do their best in every subject, knowing that they all have something special to offer. As they move through the Key Stage, they will be well on their way to being more responsible, organized, self-motivated and independent. They will be expected to set the example to younger members of the school and to their peers by being kind, considerate and well-mannered to both children and adults alike.
