Curriculum rationale and intent:
· The curriculum at Boasley Cross Primary School is co-designed to provide a broad and balanced education that meets the needs of all children giving them the knowledge, skills and experiences necessary to prepare them for life in the 21st century as global citizens.
· The curriculum is ambitious and designed to give all learners, particularly the most disadvantaged and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) or high needs, the knowledge and cultural capital they need to succeed in life.
· The curriculum embodies creativity and promotes outdoor learning (including forest school and outdoor lessons across the curriculum); we use the Reggio Emilia approach in our Pre-School to encourage experiential learning in relationship-driven environments.
· Outdoor learning opportunities across all curriculum areas develop thinking skills (metacognition), problem solving, personal and social skills which feed into the vision and ethos of our school.
· It enables children to develop confidence and positive attitudes to learning, which are the foundation for academic success, creativity and problem solving.
· The curriculum is meaningful and enriched to provide opportunities that support the development of the whole child promoting ability and resilience, as well as strategies for physical and mental well-being. Extensive enrichment opportunities expand the curriculum to allow a wide range of opportunity for our most vulnerable pupils. Through enrichment and outdoor learning, pupils develop their resilience and resourcefulness, are able to take on challenges and self-regulate.
· The curriculum is inclusive, celebrating diversity, supporting the children’s spiritual, moral, social and cultural development through the British Values of our society.
The school follows the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum during a child’s first year in school. From Year 1 the National curriculum subjects are taught:
English, Mathematics, Science, Computing, History, Geography, Music, French, Art & Design, and Design & Technology
Additionally:
Religious Education & PSHE
We use the Devon Book Banding scheme supported with Babcock Learning and Development Partnership's 'Rethink Reading' principles.
