Curriculum
Our Curriculum Intent
Our principle aim is to provide a broad and exciting curriculum which is ambitious for all pupils and one that offers wide ranging opportunities for children to succeed, achieve excellence and flourish.
Underpinning our curriculum, are our six school values which provide opportunities for our children to develop being Kind, Curious, Confident, Community minded, Adventurous and Ambitious learners. Through these, we encourage pupils to ask questions, challenge themselves, work together and reflect on their learning. We support every child to acquire the knowledge, understanding and transferable skills needed to prepare them to be confident, caring and successful adults in an ever-changing world.
Our curriculum develops children’s understanding of core concepts in each subject, building on their knowledge and skills from prior learning and deepening their understanding to enable them to express their learning to the highest standard.
We use an enquiry based approach to ensure we inspire curiosity and maximise opportunity within the curriculum. We provide a safe and supportive learning environment where children feel confident to take risks and ask questions, developing the resilience and curiosity needed to become independent, life-long learners.
Trips, workshops and residentials are carefully planned to inspire children; immersing and enriching their learning with relevant experiences and providing opportunities for adventure and challenge. We take full advantage of our incredible setting in North Devon to inspire children with the wonders of nature and develop an understanding of the responsibilities we all have for looking after our amazing world; acting locally, thinking globally and realising the influence and impact they have in society.
As we are a mixed class school, our curriculum works on a 2-year cycle in KS1 and KS2. Please find below our 'Year B' curriculum maps for KS1 and KS2:
