Intent:

We strive to find engaging and inspiring topics through which we link all subjects. Topics have included Up, Up and Away, Plastic Planet and The World in our Home to name but a few. However, we are careful to see each subject as its own subject and place a value on everything.

Through providing children with rich learning experiences, we believe that our curriculum enables children to gain a full understanding of the topic. These opportunities then allow children to write from experience, making their work more detailed and descriptive as the child has already 'lived' the story.

For example, children in Years 5 and 6 whilst studying 'The Awesome Egyptians' mummified tomatoes! This helped the children gain a fuller understanding of the mummification process and used their experiences to write a set of instructions and, later, a story.

Our Intent document is made up of three stages. EYFS, KS1 and KS2.

The Early Years Foundation Stage:

The foundation curriculum is made up of three prime areas and four specific areas. In collaboration of the EYFS statutory guidance and Development Matters, our EYFS Lead has created a curriculum that not just meets the needs and requirements for our EY children, but also, enriches their learning and ensures they thrive.
