A Thematic Approach
There is evidence that teaching subject knowledge and skills as part of a wider topic based curriculum allows pupils to make useful links between areas of learning, and consolidate skills. Children are also likely to be more engaged in their learning if it has a context and theme that runs through it. We believe that children learn better when they can make connections between what they are learning. Consolidating good practice We have therefore developed a new thematic curriculum in line with our previous topic-based approach that has been successfully used over the past three years. The themes have been updated and modified to deliver the new Programmes of Study for the National Curriculum 2014 and other aspects of the school curriculum, including PHSE, Religious Education and Citizenship. The wider curriculum Our curriculum reflects the diversity of our world and is flexible to respond to local projects. We expect the children to take part in all the learning opportunities provided and we celebrate good learning each week in our Thursday assembly at 2.50. Each class also has a family assembly once a year.
