National Curriculum
The new National Curriculum will be taught in all maintained primary and secondary schools from September 2014. As an academy we have the freedom to set our own curriculum, but the National Curriculum provides the standard against which we can benchmark our own standards. Therefore we are taking this opportunity to review the school curriculum in order to provide a curriculum that best suits the needs of our children.
The National Curriculum sets out the following aims:
•To ensure that the National Curriculum embodies rigour and high standards and creates coherence in what is taught in school.
•To ensure that all children are taught the essential knowledge in the key subject disciplines.
•Beyond that core, to allow teachers greater freedom to use their professionalism and expertise to help all children realise their potential.
Lindley CE Infant School Curriculum
At Lindley CE Infant School, our curriculum meets the needs of all pupils by giving them the cultural capital needed to be a good citizen and enables them to develop firm foundations to be successful in life. We inspire children to be motivated and excited by learning by offering enjoyable and developmentally appropriate experiences which are directly linked to learning. Through our school values, QFT commitment and curriculum drivers, we aim to create a positive and progressive formative education that embeds children’s learning to ensure they are ready for the next steps in their education journey. Children will develop fluency and confidence in the basic and fundamental skills for reading, writing and maths to support independence and future learning. Curriculum breadth gives opportunities for all children to develop their social skills alongside a values education which will support and develop their moral compass.
