Our Curriculum Content and Assessment Documents (CADS) ensure clear progression in pupils’ knowledge, skills and understanding in each subject as they move through our school. Learning is delivered through relevant and inspiring themes and topics with cross-curricular links exploited to enable pupils to make connections in their learning and to make it interesting and meaningful. We also include visits and visitors to further enrich our curriculum and make it memorable for our pupils.
Our curriculum is further enhanced through our ACE Particles, Christian values for life, collective worship, community links and our 'real life curriculum'.
We also benefit from being able to work together with our partner school, Bramford CEVC Primary, to add to our curriculum and learning experiences for our pupils.
Successful Learners
Our ACE ‘Particles,’ teach our pupils to be responsible, respectful and independent learners with a positive attitude. We aim to foster their aspirations and encourage them to persevere in their learning, even when at first they don’t succeed. We aspire to provide opportunities for our pupils to achieve both independently and together and to be caring and sharing. Together we are ACE!
Pupils love to learn in this happy school. The school’s values are well known to the pupils. Pupils demonstrate perseverance within their learning, and they are polite and respectful. The emphasis on ‘live, learn and laugh’ is evident throughout the school.
