We believe the Early Years are crucial to igniting excitement in exploration and discovery, which is the foundation for life-long learning. That is why we are passionate about play! Research has proven that when children show high involvement, their brain is at its most active, resulting in progress and development. High level involvement can be observed most often when children are able to pursue their own interests and develop their own ideas. We believe that when the adult joins the child within their play, they can have the most impact in developing learning. We do not follow topics or plan ahead, rather we respond in the moment and celebrate the here and now, allowing each child to flourish in their own unique way.
· We like to sing and sign our morning register.
· We teach a short daily phonic session, which supports the whole school use of Read Write Inc.
· A majority of the day the children take part in ‘Busy Time’. This is a time to play and learn!
· Throughout the day, the children have free-flow access to both the indoor and outdoor space.
· At lunch, the children enjoy a delicious hot meal or can bring their own pack-up.
· We enjoy active daily maths lesson
· Several times a day, we like to snuggle up and share a good book.
We believe that this is a year of growth, where children develop and mature, building on the strengths of EYFS ready for a new and varied KS1 curriculum. Play is still a focus of our learning but it is balanced with topic led class learning and guided teaching sessions. This mix of child and adult led learning is scaffolded by skilled staff who recognise when a child may need adult support or the space to explore independently.
Our Year 1 curriculum engages and excites through exploration of families, homes, animals, weather, plants, religions and ourselves. Use of our outdoor classroom and indoor continuous provision, encourages every child to seek challenge and practice new skills with resources that have been selected to support their individual learning.
In Year 2, your child will cover a huge range of new learning.
We cover all aspects of the curriculum through engaging lessons, with experiences and trips to support this.
Our learning is led by our topics, which provide the children with new and rich learning. The cross-curricular links allow the children to use their new knowledge within their writing and even their maths.
We always have a busy year in Year 2 with lots of great experiences including the yearly nativity, school trips and unforgettable experiences.
Year three has some wonderful topics including Incredible India, Tremors and Ancient Greece.
In year we look at these class texts:
Elephant Dance: A journey to India by Theresa Heine

In Maths we focus on a range of subjects and use platforms like White Rose, TTRS and mastery maths.
In Year 4 we provide a balanced and broad curriculum that supports, engages and enables pupils to achieve their educational potential.
In Maths, pupils learn how to add and subtract 4-digit numbers, estimate and use inverse calculations to check answers. Throughout the year pupils will learn and develop their multiplication knowledge within a variety of fun-based activities that will help them complete their Year 4 Times Table Test.
Pupils will also learn how create an article, write a persuasive letter, design their own vlog and write narratives, creating settings, characters and plots. They will continually learn through cross-curricular links to our three exciting topics, World of Water, Bottom Bits and Bile and Rotten Romans.
