Intent

PLEASE CLICK HERE to view our Curriculum Intent, built around our Learning Values, the 7Cs.

This also serves as our Teaching & Learning Policy. Our Curriculum will:

teach children to gain the knowledge and skills, responsibility and integrity to enjoy fullness of life
develop intrinsic motivation to make their own impactful choices at a personal, local and global level.

Following the pandemic, we have spent time working on our ethos documents, to ensure that children are all supported following this challenging time. We ensure that our curriculum subjects all endeavour to use these points to provide the highest quality learning for every child:

Developing independence
Supporting self-regulation
Enhancing direct teaching and repeated practice
Actively supporting wellbeing
Promoting diversity and identity
Researching evidence based practice
Facilitating playful learning
Empowering responsible earth awareness
Sharing child-influenced experiences
Motivating through outdoor learning
Working together as a Church School community
Championing inclusivity

Character Education and Learning Values
We also use our learning values to guide all of our work ; these are:
Confidence
Collaboration
Communication
Commitment
Curiosity
Creativity
Craftsmanship

As Church of England Voluntary Controlled Schools, we also use our values to guide us emotionally and spiritually:
Kindness
Hope
Friendship
Respect
Responsibility
