Our school seeks to be a secure and welcoming environment for children and adults in which each person is valued. We strive to provide an atmosphere of respect and consideration to enable children to achieve their very best intellectually, physically and in relationships with others.
Our Christian perspective shapes our ethos through the life of the school and the curriculum, whilst at the same time encouraging freedom of speech and sensitivity to different viewpoints.
Our school provides the best education possible and develops pupils who become self-motivated and imaginative with lively enquiring minds. Progress is made at a pace appropriate for everyone. The education is broad, balanced, relevant and differentiated for individual needs. We aim to promote an appreciation of our community and environment. Our school is a place for doing, experiencing and taking part.
OUR CURRICULUM
Aim
To provide a broad and balanced curriculum which includes our statutory obligations within the National Curriculum.
Foundation Stage
We recognise that for most children starting school aged four, it will be their first encounter of living within a much larger community. Individuals need varying amounts of time to acquire the social skills needed to feel secure enough to benefit fully from the exciting range of resources and activities provided.
Through carefully structured play, plus the more organised tasks, the children develop knowledge, understanding and key skills in the six areas of learning which provide a sound basis for later education, and are known as the Early Learning Goals:
· Personal, Social and Emotional
· Physical
· Creative
· Mathematical
· Language and Literacy
· Knowledge and understanding of the world
An early assessment of each child helps the teacher to plan for their needs and to discuss with the parents the next steps in their child’s social and educational development.
Our aim: to create a happy, learning environment where all children can develop their potential in a Christian atmosphere.
