Class 2
Curriculum Intent Statement
Our school motto ’Learning to Live, Living to Learn’ is very much at the core of our curriculum. We aim to provide a curriculum that equips pupils with life skills for the future at all levels.
Our curriculum is designed to:
- recognise children’s prior learning
- provide first hand learning experiences
- promote creativity
- make connections between subjects and real life
- Promote safe, equal, caring and enjoyable relationships and discussing real-life situations appropriate to the age and stage of pupils.
- encourage the children to develop interpersonal skills
- build resilience and become creative, critical thinkers.
- understand their own strengths and areas for development and know how to face challenges
- promote responsibility for learning and future success.
The ability to learn is underpinned by the teaching of basic skills, knowledge, concepts and values. This involves developing learning attitudes and resilience – acquiring an understanding that we learn from occasional mistakes made. Teaching the skills of interacting with others, questioning, reasoning and explaining help to create a positive attitude to learning.
