CURRICULUM AIMS
“Pupils have very positive attitudes towards learning” Ofsted 2012
Our most important aim is to help EACH CHILD to develop his/her potential to the
full in a caring environment which always promotes excellence of performance.
In our school we will aim to provide a
curriculum which will cover the
National Curriculum as appropriate,
and be as broad and stimulating as the
accommodation and resources allow.
All children have the right of access
to different areas of knowledge and
skills so the school curriculum will
cover a full range of meaningful
learning experiences, which the
children will meet both formally and
informally during their time in the school. They will experience our school as a caring
and supportive environment, where there is equal opportunity regardless of sex, race,
culture or any form of disability. As all children are individuals the teaching needs to
be organised to match their age, aptitude, ability and learning style.
Our curriculum will help children:-
•
to acquire knowledge and skills relevant to adult life so that they can play a useful
part in their community;
•
to develop lively enquiring minds, capable of independent thought;
•
to develop the ability to question and argue rationally and apply themselves to
tasks;
•
to experience a sense of achievement through the study and application of
language, literature, mathematics, science, technology, geography, history, art,
music and physical pursuits;
•
to have a respect for other people and an understanding of their religions and
beliefs;
•
to experience responsibility appropriate to their age and maturity and have
opportunities to exercise judgement;
•
to be happy in body, mind and soul;
•
to love lifelong learning.
In drawing up the School’s policy statements and schemes of work, teachers conform
to the National Curriculum and are advised by Local Authority Inspectors and
advisory teachers.
