Curriculum
Curriculum Intent - What do we hope to achieve?
At Warley Town School we will ensure that all pupils secure essential skills and knowledge which enable them to access a broad and engaging curriculum. Our curriculum will be accessible, purposeful, enjoyable and memorable.
We will always endeavour to remove barriers to learning so that all pupils, including disadvantaged and vulnerable pupils, can thrive and develop as motivated, independent, resilient learners.
Our curriculum will be planned to ensure progression between year groups and key stages, instilling a love of learning and readiness for their next stage of education.
Children in Reception Class follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework (EYFS).
Children in Years 1 - 6 follow the National Curriculum.
Curriculum Implementation – How will we deliver the curriculum?
Pupils will access a broad and engaging curriculum. Where appropriate, links across subjects will be made to the half term's topic driver. This enables pupils to access a wide range of cross curricular knowledge and skills in a way that engages them and helps their learning to ‘stick’.
Humanities (Geography & History)
Personal, Social & Health Education including Relationships & Sex Education
Curriculum Impact - How effective is our curriculum?
The impact of our curriculum will be measured and monitored by senior leaders and subject leaders who consider and evaluate:
- Pupil outcomes
- Pupil voice
- Internal monitoring
- External monitoring
Ofsted 2023:
"Leaders have changed the curriculum to better meet the needs of pupils in mixed age classes. In most subjects, leaders have identified and sequenced the knowledge
and vocabulary they want pupils to learn. In a small number of subjects, this work is
at an earlier stage of development."
"The learning environments are cheerful and organised to support learning. Teachers
provide a range of useful resources. This includes support material that pupils can
choose to use."
