Curriculum at a Glance
We offer a broad and inclusive curriculum from Reception through to Year 6, aligned with the BPET commitment to Learn, Enjoy, Succeed. Our approach ensures that every child, regardless of ability or background, has the opportunity to succeed and reach their full potential.
Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)
In Nursery and Reception, we follow the EYFS statutory framework alongside Development Matters. Each half-term’s learning is centred around a key topic that reflects the children’s interests and developmental needs. Teaching covers the seven key areas of learning, with a focus on fostering curiosity and creativity through the characteristics of effective teaching and learning.
The Seven key areas of development are:
- Personal, Social and Emotional Development
- Physical Development
- Communication and Language development
- Literacy
- Mathematics
- Understanding the World
- Expressive Arts and Design
Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2
Our curriculum, based on the National Curriculum, places a strong emphasis on both literacy and numeracy. We ensure every child becomes fluent in reading and writing, enabling them to access and excel across the broader curriculum. Structured teaching of spelling, punctuation, and grammar, along with a mastery approach to maths, supports this.
Mornings are focussed on core subjects such as English and Maths, while afternoons provide opportunities to explore Science, Geography, History, and Religious Education. We also teach Latin, Computing, Music and Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education while offering a wide range of enrichment activities, including - outdoor learning, nutritional education, co-curricular clubs, educational trips and key visitors in school.
As part of our School Development Plan (SDP) we are working on the integration of technology throughout the curriculum to enhance learning and ensure every child can fully engage in their education.
Our high aspirations for all pupils mean we encourage them to make strong progress, develop as lifelong learners, and grow into responsible citizens. By the end of Year 6, pupils will have received an excellent education, preparing them for secondary school.
Topic Overviews
Each half-term, we provide a topic overview and a cover letter outlining what each year group will be learning in class. These documents also include important reminders and details about PE, home learning, outdoor and nutritional learning, and upcoming excursions. They are shared through our newsletter, with direct links to the documents, and can also be found on the school website under Parent Resources and Documents. We encourage our parents to make use of these valuable resources to help extend learning beyond the classroom and at home.
SEND Curriculum Provision
We are dedicated to ensuring that every child, including those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), receives the support they need to thrive. Our Inclusion Team works closely with teachers and support staff to provide tailored interventions, enabling pupils to participate fully and make progress.
We identify additional needs early and follow a graduated approach to support, which includes planning, implementing, and reviewing interventions regularly. Our Inclusion Leaders, Mrs Lewis and Mrs Connor, collaborate with teachers to create personalised support plans, ensuring parents and pupils are actively involved.
A strong partnership between school and home is key to pupil success. If parents have concerns about their child’s progress, they are encouraged to speak with the Class teacher first who will then contact the Senco to ensure appropriate support is in place.
