Our Curriculum Design
The attached document outlines our rationale for the design of our curriculum together with how the curriculum is implemented throughout the school. We follow the SAST principals of an effective curriculum which can be found on the SAST website. www.sast.org.uk
Phonics
Children learn phonics using the published scheme, ‘Read, Write, Inc.’ which is a systematic approach to teaching phonological awareness.
Educational Experiences
The class teachers organise educational experiences for the children which are relevant to the topic they are learning about. These include:
- Residential visits to St Briavel’s Castle in Monmouthshire
- Visits to local places of interest, including Montacute House
- Welcoming visitors to the school to share their areas of expertise
- Linking with children in a school in America to share experiences and cultural differences
