Curriculum

Curriculum Intent

Our curriculum has been developed with the desire for children to have a wealth of important knowledge and skills with which to achieve and make progress both in school and beyond. The curriculum has been designed as sequenced knowledge that builds coherently and allows for links to be made and schema to be developed. Each curriculum subject identifies key knowledge content; progression across the subject and key vocabulary to enable prior knowledge to be built on to support the transfer into children's long-term memory. We aim to meet the needs of all learners, supporting and challenging all children to achieve their best. 

Our location and community feature as part of the curriculum design, as we are on the doorstep of areas of outstanding natural beauty, such as Radford Park, Hooe Lake and the waterfront. These are carefully incorporated into the curriculum design so that children’s knowledge and skills progress in environments that are accessible, enriching and familiar to them.
