Class Organisation:

Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1

Teaching and learning in our foundation stage and in key stage 1 is through a thematic (topic) based approach. The use of themes enables the teachers to provide a relevant, cohesive, progressive experience to meet the needs of young learners.

 Key Stage 2

In delivering the school curriculum w have adopted a subject-based approach whereby each subject is taught separately. However, cross-curricular links are used where possible to support the teaching.

This system enables us to concentrate on specific programmes of study and ensure that we are delivering the full National Curriculum. Children may work individually, in groups or in whole class activities to provide the best opportunities for learning and development generally.

The style of the lessons may vary according to context and the needs of the pupils involved. The best interests of the children are the determining factor in all work planned and we endeavour to cater for individual need and progress at all levels.

More information on the organisation of our curriculum can be found in our school prospectus

Junior children will have the opportunity to play outdoor games and will need warm clothing and suitable footwear. Trainers are allowed for outdoor games.

Jewellery

Items of jewellery are not allowed in school, apart from a watch. Children are not allowed to wear earrings in school, however, if your child has newly pierced ears and studs are being worn until they are healed, they must be removed for school after the initial 6-week period.
