The implementation of our curriculum is based on cross curricular links where appropriate, wow days to introduce a topic or concept, a range of texts to link English with our foundation subjects and links made across the curriculum and the wider curriculum such as RRSA and Wellbeing. Our values are linked to each year group’s curriculum and we acknowledge what we do to consolidate children’s understanding of each value in school. Linked to this is a whole school strategy ‘Whole, Happy, Healthy’ to promote emotional literacy and wellbeing of children and staff by considering work load pressures alongside all activities and initiatives.
Staff plan in a collaborative way to ensure pace, challenge and consistency. Staff also share their varied expertise to support their colleagues in developing the quality of education for the children. This is achieved through peer learning, team teaching and Staff Continued Professional Learning (CPL) opportunities.
We deliver our curriculum by supporting, guiding and inspiring our children through excellent teaching practices. By working with our families we will create an aspirational school community in which everyone
is valued and successes are celebrated. High quality visits and visitors enhance the curriculum and provide opportunities for writing for a purpose. We encourage the children to take part in fun activity days such as World Book Day, plus many other specially themed days where the children can dress up, create projects and models and experience a totally different school day and further enhance their Topic in their year group.
We expect all children to have high aspirations in order to perform and succeed. Our Alexandra Pedagogy cards ensure that all staff have high expectations and work consistently across the whole school.
