Nursery and Reception Classes:

The pupils in Reception and Nursery will be working on the curriculum for the Foundation Stage which will cover six key areas:

Personal and Social Development, Language and Literacy, Mathematics, Knowledge and Understanding of the World, Physical Development and Creative Development.

Year 1 - 6:

This will be based on the National Curriculum as directed by the government and will be comprised of the core subjects - Mathematics, English, Science and the foundation subjects - Geography, History, Design and Technology, Music, Art, Information and Communication Technology and Physical Education plus Religious Education and, Personal and Social and Health, Education. Under the terms of the 1988 Education Act, children will be tested in English and Mathematics at seven years of age (Year 2), and in English, Mathematics and Science at eleven years of age (Year 6).

Pupils in Year 1 and Year 2 will be working on Key Stage 1 of the National Curriculum and those in Year 3, 4, 5 and 6 will continue through Key Stage 2.

All children, both within nursery and school, will experience a wide range of activities which are planned to contribute to his/her whole education which covers many aspects of development, including academic, moral, physical, social, religious, cultural and recreational. A great deal of this is not formally taught but is integral to the philosophy of the school. Courtesy and good manners and respect for others are necessary in establishing relationships and a good working situation.

The rules we have are necessary to ensure a safe, pleasant and efficient working environment for the children.
