CHILDREN IN NEED - NOVEMBER 20th   

 

CURRICULUM

  

 

The curriculum at the school reflects the requirements of the National Curriculum and the advice of the Local Education Authority.  Subjects are taught through themes or topics, and in experiential, child centred approach. We aim to help pupils to develop lively, enquiring minds and a love of learning, the ability to question and argue rationally and to think for themselves.  Great emphasis is placed on mastery of basic or core subjects, Maths, English and Science.  Teaching is carried out using a variety of different methods including individual, group and class situations as seen appropriate by the class teacher.

 

The school aims to offer a curriculum which is broad in nature, encouraging pupils to work hard and succeed at tasks, to work indepen

 

dently, and with other people.  Also, to develop in children a sense of self-responsibility and self-confidence and a self-reliance with and awareness of and sensitivity to the needs of others.

 

Team games in Rugby , Soccer, Cricket, Netball, Hockey and Rounders are organised, as are many other games, many devised by the children themselves.

 

                                           

 

The school also encourages pupil involved in a range of extra curricular activities which are organised and run on a voluntary basis by staff and parents.  Currently, we have after school clubs for IT, Rugby , Soccer, Netball and Athletics.

 

 

The school has a fine musical tradition and it is hoped that with the continued support of the LEA, this aspect of school will continue to thrive and grow. Our school choir performs in the community.
