From September 2014 the school started to deliver a new curriculum in line with the new national initiatives. For detailed information see: National Curriculum Framework
As children move into Key Stage 2 they experience an ever broadening curriculum. Wherever possible cross-curricular links are made for instance much of the children's writing uses other subjects as a stimulus and purpose to write. Similarly opportunities to teach maths through subjects such as science and geography are sought. Reading continues to be a priority and children read through guided reading, whole class texts and one to one sessions.
Members of staff assess and monitor children's performance to ensure that each child is given adequate support and challenge where appropriate.
Each term the children's work will be focused around specific topics. Because children spend more than one year in each class we have a two year rolling programme in all areas of the curriculum. Children continue to take part in inspiration days and end product events with parents actively encouraged to join in learning throughout.

Homework
The school has a homework policy which exists to ensure work at home is purposeful and enhances children's learning. Key Stage 1 are expected to have around twenty minutes each evening, progressing to extended tasks over longer time periods, (thirty minutes each night) at Key Stage 2.
Provision for More Able Children
Every child in our school is encouraged to achieve their potential. We have a dedicated and talented team of teachers, and support workers, who provide extension materials and activities to meet the needs of each individual.
