Shaw Cross Infant and Nursery School

Since the introduction of the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum, and the KS1 National Curriculum in 2014 we reviewed and re-structured the learning experiences which we offer within school to ensure that we fulfil our statutory requirements. 

In doing so we focussed on the key priorities below:

• Providing a curriculum which is driven by the ‘characteristics of effective learning’ (EYFS) and our ‘Secrets of Success’ (KS1)
• Working creatively within the curriculum to ensure that all learning has a purpose and that children will be motivated and engage with their learning
• For children to have the opportunity to learn in an exciting, challenging and creative way
• For subject content to be taught in a flexible, cross curricular way and enable literacy and numeracy to be applied within other subject areas, and vice versa
• To maximising the use of our school and it’s community by learning from the world around us – making use of our fabulous school grounds, our locality and people within the community to enhance our learning
• To allow flexibility and time within the curriculum for children to follow relevant lines of enquiry and deepen their learning through an enquiry led curriculum approach  

Whilst we ensure that children are able to access the statutory requirements of the curriculum, we are constantly reviewing how we deliver the content. As new technology and resources become available we are evolving and implementing new initiatives to improve and enhance learning, whilst maintaining the clear objectives set out in the curriculum.   

Learning is carefully pitched to ensure that it is appropriate to the individual, whilst also keeping a focus on age-related expectations. Support and challenge is an integral part of learning within each curriculum through the application of basic, advancing and deep learning.
