Other Subjects

Our three main curriculum drivers are curiosity, creativity and courage. We want children and staff to be curious about the world, others and themselves. We want to give children opportunities to be creative in every subject. We expect everyone to show courage when learning, to have a go, make mistakes, be ambitious and show resilience. Our vision is for everyone to be curious, creative and courageous to grow and make a difference. Each subject contributes towards this vision.

We feel although subjects have similarities and links they also have distinct features. Therefore, for each KS1 and KS2 National Curriculum subject the school has identified golden threads that are the key concepts that weave throughout our curriculum starting in EYFS. Within a subject, these threads link the learning across the school together and help the children to make connections. By considering these threads when planning the EYFS team start to ‘plant the seed’ of these concepts and the rest of the school help these seeds to grow. We hope the image of the thread, like the image of a tree gives the children a way to visualise how learning can be connected.

Below please find statements for the different subjects from last year. We are in the process of creating our new statements and will update this page soon. The statements cover why we think the subject is important, the key concepts, the curriculum design, what we do well and the next steps. We have also included the long term plans for these subjects so that you can see what elements are covered in each class.
