• Opportunities to use ICT to support learning across all areas
• Visits/trips to enrich learning
• Opportunities to perform to wider audiences  – class assemblies, celebration of work, performances to parents
• Parental involvement/support
• Opportunities to learn about current affairs
• At least one residential trip
• Theatre visits and Music Workshops
• Visits from local services/businesses – fire, police, library
• Use of our outside learning environment
• Opportunities for pupils to personalise their learning
• Explicit teaching of Independent Learning skills
• Opportunities to develop an understanding of how to become a good citizen with life skills and aspirations
• All members of our school, adults and pupils, to demonstrate a willingness to engage in lifelong learning.

Early Years and Nursery

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) sets the standards that all early years providers must meet to ensure that children learn and develop well and are kept healthy and safe. It promotes teaching and learning to ensure children’s ‘school readiness’ and gives children the broad range of knowledge and skills that provide the right foundation for good future progress through school and life.

Children are provided with a broad, balanced and exciting curriculum that is carefully planned to meet the needs of individuals.
