Other Curriculum Subjects
Art and Design
We aim to for fill the requirements of the National Curriculum and beyond by providing a broad, balanced and exciting Art curriculum which is inclusive to all children and enables children to interact with and experience a diverse range of skills and artists. We aim to inspire the children and develop their Art skills though learning about a range of different Artists. A similar systematic approach to the development of artistic skills means that children are given opportunities to express their creative imagination, as well as practise and develop mastery in the key processes of art: drawing, painting, printing, textiles and sculpture. We are eager for all children to understand the context of the artwork, as well as the artists that they are learning about and being inspired by, ensuring a range of diverse cultural experiences. We anticipate that the children will be curious and engaged, exploring their imagination and to be inquisitive to follow a line of enquiry to reach answers, and to recall and present their learning in a vibrant range of ways.
Computing
It is our intention to enable children to find, explore, analyse, exchange and present information. We also focus on developing the skills necessary for children to be able to use information in a discriminating and effective way. We want children to know more, remember more and understand more in computing so that they leave primary school computer literate. Computing skills are a major factor in enabling children to be confident, creative and independent learners and it is our intention that children have every opportunity available to allow them to achieve this. We intend to build a computing curriculum that develops pupil’s learning and results in the acquisition of knowledge of the world around them that ensures all pupils can understand and apply the fundamental principles and concepts of computing. We intent to give our children the knowledge and skills to keep themselves safe online now and in the future. Online safety is taught discretely through PSHE but also through computing.

Design Technology
We have built a Design Technology curriculum which develops learning and results in the acquisition of knowledge and skills. Children will know more, remember more and understand more. We intend to design a design technology curriculum with appropriate subject knowledge, skills and understanding as set out in the National Curriculum. Our curriculum outlines the three main stages of the design process: design, make and evaluate and each stage of this is underpinned by technical knowledge. Within our curriculum cooking and nutrition are of high importance as a life skill has a focus on specific principles, skills and techniques in food, including where food comes from, diet and seasonality.
Geography
We aim to deliver a high-quality geography curriculum through experiences in the classroom, the use of fieldwork and educational visits. Geography is, by nature, an investigative subject, which develops an understanding of concepts, knowledge, and skills. We seek to inspire in children a curiosity and fascination about the world and its people which will remain with them for the rest of their lives; to promote the children’s interest and understanding of diverse places, people, resources and natural and human environments, together with a deep understanding of the Earth’s key physical and human processes. The curriculum is designed to develop knowledge and skills that are progressive, as well as transferable, to their further education and beyond.

History
We aim to for fill the requirements of the National Curriculum and beyond by providing a broad, balanced and exciting history curriculum which is inclusive to all children and enables children to interact with and experience history. We aim to inspire the children and develop their historical skills though learning about a range of different historical events, periods and changes and understanding how to discover as much as we can about the past both in and out of the classroom. We aim for children to understand and use the skills and knowledge needed to become historical enquirers. Furthermore, we will enable the children to develop their cross- curricular links within history to show the broad impact history has across our lives. Through this progression of skills, the children can develop their sense of chronology and how the past has shaped the world we live in today. Ultimately, we aim to provide high quality teaching to develop key characteristics for becoming an excellent historian.
