Excellence and Enjoyment

Although we follow the requirements of the National Curriculum and Cumberland Council, it is our approach and delivery of the subjects that make us distinctive as a School. Our classroom teachers have the necessary freedom to shape the curriculum in their own way to ensure excellence and enjoyment for all their pupils. This includes applying the core skills learnt in literacy, maths and computing to other areas of the curriculum and creating experiences that are real, meaningful and memorable for the children.

To support learning at every stage our pupils have access to Twinkl Learn resources at any time. For more ideas to support learning at home look at our links page. 


Teaching Reading

We use the Twinkl phonics scheme which is validated by the DfE. The programme will helps nurture a love of reading and writing, whilst guiding them towards fluency.As children move on from their phonics teaching they access a wide range of reading books from the school library and reading is supported by Accelerated Reader.
