Curriculum Drivers

We have identified the following ‘drivers’ for curriculum development at our school.

Oracy   

to place speech and communication at the heart of our curriculum enabling our children to speak confidently, appropriately and sensitively, learning through talk and deepening understanding through dialogue.

Diversity 

to develop our children’s horizons and understanding of a variety of lifestyles within a broad, cultural curriculum

Community  

to develop our wish to be a central part of the local, national and world community

Environment  

to continue to reinforce that we value the environment and feel passionate about its management

Enquiry 

to encourage our children to be inquisitive, to ask questions and be resourceful, persistent and independent in their learning.

Risk  

because children need to learn to assess and manage risks by having fun and a little bit of danger!

Enterprise  

to support our children in developing more independence and the opportunity to show initiative
