"The rich and vibrant curriculum is a key strength of the school"- Ofsted May 2018

The EYFS curriculum is organised into six areas of learning: personal, social and emotional development; communication, language and literacy; mathematical development; knowledge and understanding of the world; physical development; and creative development.

SEN

This policy accepts the definition of SEN as set out in the SEN Code of Practice. It reflects the new approach to and arrangements for SEN outlined in the Children and Families Act 2014.

Assessment

Assessment for Learning (AFL) happens in all lessons and is the tool by which teachers identify next steps for individuals, groups and the class as a whole.

Habits of Mind

Our school embraces the 16 ‘Habits of Mind’ as a way of clarifying educational aspirations and targets for our pupils. They provide a framework and common language for students, teachers, school leadership, parents and the wider school community to share when discussing and planning for the development of our thinking.
