Please see our overview of the Curriculum at the bottom of this page.

PE

• We aim to develop agility, co-ordination and confidence through physical activity. All pupils have two sessions of PE a week, covering dance, gymnastics, games and athletics following the 'Get Set 4 PE scheme'. Year 5 participate in swimming, where the children develop the skills required to ensure that they are confident swimmers by the time they leave us in Year 6. We encourage a competitive spirit while recognising the value of co-operation, fair play and team work.
• We have a ‘Traditional Sports Day' held in the summer term. All children compete in a selection of strength, stamina and agility activities. Family and friends of the school are always invited to watch this event and the children thoroughly enjoy participating in different races as well as, developing their sportsmanship and team spirit as they watch their peers.
• Physical Education is a vital part of the children’s education and we pride ourselves in the way we help to develop their knowledge of a healthy lifestyle and positive attitudes.

Science

• To develop children's scientific knowledge, understanding and curiosity of the nature, processes and methods of science, for now and the future. Throughout the programmes of study, the children will acquire and develop the key knowledge that has been identified within each unit and across each year group, as well as the application of scientific skills. We ensure that the Working Scientifically skills are built-in and developed throughout children’s time at the school so that they can apply their knowledge of science and develop their understanding of the world.
• We use Kapow Resources to enhance Science provision and ensure coverage.

PSHE

• Personal, social and health education (PSHE) is taught through the Jigsaw programme.
• It enables our children to become healthy, independent and responsible members of a society. It aims to help them understand how they are developing personally and socially, and tackles many of the moral, social and cultural issues that are part of growing up.
• Our children are encouraged to develop their sense of self-worth by playing a positive role in contributing to school life and the wider community and as a result of this they will become healthy, independent and responsible members of a society who understand how they are developing personally and socially. Please see overview below.

Computing

• To develop children's experience and understanding of ICT, ensuring they realise the importance of keeping themselves safe online (and having an awareness of their responsibilities for online bullying) and preparing them for jobs of the future.
• The technical world we live in is constantly evolving and we need to ensure our children have the skills and confidence to integrate effectively and be successful.
• Children from Reception to Year 6 follow Barefoot or NCCE’s Teach Computing scheme alongside Project Evolve to raise their awareness of online bullying and staying safe. 

Humanities 

• We have planned and sequenced our own History and Geography curriculum to ensure children gain the knowledge and skills needed.
• In addition to develop children’s experiences and understanding of Geography and History; projects based locally and further afield are taught to inspire and ignite their curiosity about Peterborough, Great Britain and the wider world.

Art and design

• We use Kapow Resources to enhance our art and design and design and technology provision and to ensure coverage.
• To enhance and make this personalised for our children additional units are taught. 
• This year we have linked these to our TEFAT Green curriculum objectives.

Music

• Our music curriculum is taught using Music Express and charanga.
• We also ensure all children have opportunities to play instruments and develop singing and performance skills.
• We ensure children have the opportunities to experience live music events, such as The Snowman performance and Britten Symphonia.

RE

• RE is taught following RE Today. 

• Our RE subject leader is Miss Jackson, for more information about the RE Curriculum, feel free to speak to her and ask any questions you may have.
