Our Curriculum Implementation and Overviews We deliver a 'whole school curriculum', meaning all children are exposed to the same topic, but at an age-appropriate level. This is updated regularly and further information can be found below.
Further detailed medium term plans are created by the Curriculum leader, which detail the progression of skills and learning opportunities for each subject area. English Medium Term plans are skilfully designed to maximise cross-curricular learning opportunities. and provide meaningful learning links. An example of the Curriculum Medium Term plans can be found here An example of the English Medium Term plans can be found here |
Subject Overviews We are proud of our curriculum approach and delivery, with our subject leaders providing a detailed breakdown of our approach to, and delivery of, each subject area.

Reading
Rhino Readers provide the core reading offer from Phases 2-6. This is supplemented by Schofield and Sims, Ransom Reading Stars and Oxford Reading Tree. Class teachers may also allocate books digitally, using the Rhino Reader App. As children progress beyond Level 6c from the Rhino Readers, they then access the National Book Banding system and move from White through to Dark Blue. This selection draws upon a wider range of publishers and ensures our pupils are exposed to a great variety and breadth of books. Our Reading Reward System celebrates the commitment towards reading, with children able to achieve Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum badges throughout the year. These are displayed in all classes to celebrate our reading achievements collectively.
. Children also have access to class library books, as part of our Reading Offer, which is aimed to ensure our pupils also 'Read for Pleasure' as often as they can.
Please read our 'Reading Offer' and how we ensure reading is at the heart of our curriculum.
