Our Curriculum

Our whole school curriculum is coherently planned and sequenced to enable our children to build knowledge and skills sequentially and cumulatively. We follow the EYFS Framework and the National Curriculum for Key Stage One and we prioritise securing strong foundational knowledge. We use a progressive play based approach throughout EYFS and Key Stage One, informed by a strong evidence base.

Children are taught through a combination of carefully planned Learning Journeys (carefully selected contexts which build upon our children’s starting points, and respond to the social and emotional needs of our children) and Continuous Provision (‘Discovery Time’) through a blend of explicit instruction, repeated practice, high quality interactions, purposefully planned enhancements and independent play.

Our curriculum is driven by three core principles: Autonomy, Belonging and Competence. We empower children to be capable, confident decision‑makers who take ownership of their learning; we ensure every child feels seen, safe and valued within a nurturing community; and we create the conditions for every learner to experience success. These drivers shape our ethos, our environments and our daily practice, ensuring that all children thrive emotionally, socially and academically.
