We deliver all subjects via half-termly topics to enhance and engage pupil learning and to make it as relevant, fun and exciting as possible. We teach KS1 phonics using Letters and Sounds.
We hold year group meetings, at the beginning of each academic year, so that teachers can explain to parents how they intend to deliver the coming year’s content and answer any questions you may have. If you have not been able to attend one of these meetings, or require any further information, please contact your child’s teacher and we will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Our curriculum will provide fun and exciting opportunities that will stimulate pupils’ imagination. This will include opportunities for problem solving, developing self-esteem and exploring and developing their own interests. By encouraging collaborative learning, we will ensure that pupils are both self-motivated, and challenged by others.
Our curriculum will allow pupils the freedom to take risks, to know that failure is a part of their learning journey, and that their mistakes can be utilised to achieve success. Pupils will be given the skills to be independent learners who can reflect on their learning, and be able to improve upon it. Our curriculum will teach pupils to do this by using the skills of critical thinking and using tools of analysis and reasoning.
Through an engaging curriculum with hooks into learning, linked with pupils own interests, pupils will not be ‘spoon-fed’, but will instead take ownership of their learning. They will care about their learning and will be proud of every achievement.
The world we live in is ever changing and our curriculum will allow pupils to grow to be adaptable, with transferable skills that will equip them to thrive. Through our curriculum, pupils develop their appreciation of Charnock Values, and the values of others.
