Our school day begins at 8.45am and ends at 3.20pm.  We follow the Statutory National Curriculum and the Non-Statutory subject of Personal, Social and Health Education and Citizenship (PSHEC). We teach pupils about changes to our bodies in Science and PSHEC lessons.  Issues such as hygiene and growth are covered sensitively throughout the school.  The main aspect of sex and relationships education is taught when the children are in Year 5 and 6 with the involvement of the school nurse.

Pupils are taught French across the whole school.

Religious Education is a compulsory part of the curriculum in accordance with the 1944 Education Act and is taught as a discrete subject in school. Our assemblies also support the exploration of a range of religions and festivals as well as helping us to set the ethos of the school. We invite parents to share in our assemblies such as our Harvest Festival, Easter  and Christmas Services as well as Praise Assemblies.

Creative Curriculum

Our cross curricular approach ensures that children are immersed in their learning - deepening their understanding by exploring themes across all curriculum subjects where there are purposeful and interesting links. 

Our approach:

• Provides a platform for children to make a positive contribution to the school and local community and explore ways of becoming an active citizen
• Enables children’s natural curiosity whilst promoting problem solving and communication to generate future innovators
• Develops self-esteem and confidence by working in a range of groups, within a supportive and respectful environment where each others’ strengths are recognised and valued
• Promotes independence by giving children ownership of their learning
