Our Curriculum is about:
• connecting: seeing relationships and combining in new ways
• risking: having the self-confidence and freedom to fail and keep trying
• envisaging: being original and imaginative about what might be
• analysing: asking critical and challenging questions
• thinking: taking time for reflection
• interacting: sharing ideas and collaborating
• varying: testing options and trying in different ways
• elaborating: exploring and fiddling and doing the unnecessary to perfect

In Key Stage 1, we use the Read, Write, Inc scheme for Phonics and to teach reading. Key Stage 1 are taught through play and continuous provision. Children are set learning challenges throughout the week, linked to a topic that allows the children to work independently on tasks that they are interested in and skilled adults move their learning on. 

Religion and belief have become more visible in public life in recent years, making it important that all pupils should have an opportunity to engage in RE. However, the parent of a pupil at a community, foundation or voluntary school (or pupils themselves if they are aged 18 or over) may request that they be excused from all or part of the religious education (RE) provided. Parents who wish to withdraw their children from RE should be aware of its aims and what is covered in the RE curriculum and that they are given the opportunity to discuss this if they wish. It should be made clear whether the withdrawal is from the whole RE curriculum or specific parts of it. No reasons need be given
