Curriculum
Welcome to the curriculum area of our school website. We hope you find it informative and that the information it contains helps you support your child's learning at home. This page will evolve and grow as our newly amalgamated curriculum develops over time.
This section shares the vision we have for all our children, from Reception to Year 6. Our school curriculum is present in all that we do: assemblies, playtimes, lessons, extracurricular activities, and behaviour expectations around school to name but a few.
In this space, you will find subject specific information and our half termly curriculum maps.
The subject specific information shares the impact we hope that each subject will have on each child throughout their learning journey with us. This starts with what we hope for the children to achieve and how we plan to make this happen. It also includes our long-term plans and some lovely photographs of the subjects in action.
Each half term, you will also find a new curriculum map for each year group which gives more detail for each half term. These are the most up to date and relevant information for you to be aware of. Information about trips, specific texts etc and dates to remember can be found here. We hope that by organising our curriculum information in this way, it is accessible to all and is easily understood.
If you would like to know any more about our school curriculum or feel can support it in any way, please get in touch.
Whole School Curriculum Intention
At Sudley Primary School, we intend to offer our children a well sequenced, broad, and balanced, challenging, and inclusive curriculum which meets the requirements of the EYFS and National Curriculum. Underpinned by our belief in their limitless potential, our curriculum is built upon the foundations of reading, writing and maths and is shaped according to what our children need to know, understand, and do in order to thrive.
Our curriculum promotes children’s social, moral, spiritual, and cultural development and allows our pupils to
Enjoy and achieve by building on their unique strengths, interests, and experiences,
Be resilient and engaged in the process of their own learning
Be happy, enthusiastic, reflective, and committed learners who have a thirst for learning
Develop their knowledge, skills and understanding in all areas, enabling them to make sustained progress.
Develop their confidence and capacity to learn both collaboratively and independently
Think creatively, engage in problem solving, be adventurous and explore areas of interest
Understand the importance of pursuing a safe and healthy lifestyle both physically and mentally.
Form positive relationships which are based on a respect for themselves and others and develop their self esteem
Become responsible, respectful, and caring citizens who celebrate diversity and make a positive contribution to the school and the wider community.
Our curriculum is underpinned by four key values:
Respect
Responsibility
Reflection
Resilience
We teach the EYFS and National Curriculum using a combination of approaches. Cultural experiences are central to the children’s learning and play a significant role in fostering the engagement, motivation, and creativity that our children have to offer. We aim to use a range of evidence – based teaching approaches to ensure knowledge, skills and understanding are reinforced and embedded. We evaluate our practice regularly against what we know works.
