“I have the freedom and choice to be ambitious for my future.”

Prayer:

As we step into a new academic year.
Restore our spirit, our energy and our love.
Renew our passion for sharing knowledge and wisdom.
Nurture our compassion
for those in our care.
Transform us as we seek to transform
Guide us as we seek to guide
Open our minds and hearts
As we seek to open minds and hearts
in the ways of equality, justice and peace.
Help us listen more deeply to one another and our children and parents
So we can walk with them
to prepare our children for the wonders of the world and support and guide
them when things are tough.

In Jesus name, Amen

“It’s not like when I was at school.”

Things change quickly in education, and at no time in the past 25 years has
that been truer than September 2014 when the whole school curriculum
changed for maintained schools throughout England.

Curriculum

The curriculum focuses on ‘higher expectations’ across subjects:

the content of the primary curriculum is significantly more

demanding than in the past.

Core Subjects: Foundation Subjects:

•English •History

•Maths •Geography

•Science •Art

•Design Technology

•Physical Education

With all these subjects we encourage more in- •Computing
depth and investigative work to allow a greater •Music
mastery and understanding of concepts and •Foreign Languages

ideas.

Curriculum

Children are assessed regularly, at the end of topics and each term
which gives progress measures. Along side teacher assessment,
these progress measures aid in providing information to parents to
explain how your child/children are progressing – this feedback is
given at parents evenings that are scheduled during the school year.

Maths:

Mastery maths means acquiring a
deep, long-term, secure and

adaptable understanding of the
subject.

English & Grammar, Punctuation & Spelling:

For many parents, the grammatical
terminology used in schools may not
be familiar.

Homework:

As children get older, they will increasingly take responsibility for their own
work and home learning tasks. That’s not to say that parents can’t help
though. Encourage your child to work independently on their home learning,
but also take the opportunity to discuss it with them and to have them
explain their understanding to you.
