Literacy and Numeracy High priority is given to the achievement of numeracy and literacy. The teaching of reading has a high profile in our school and we aim to hear each child read two to three times a week. We link the reading into our curriculum themes wherever possible. We use several teaching methods as learning to read is very complex and no one method suits every child. The aims of this school include teaching a child to read, to communicate orally and in writing and to think mathematically.
All children have individual needs, but a percentage of our children have special educational needs.
We will endeavour to meet their needs with a differentiated curriculum and an individual programme, which will develop their ability and their self-esteem. Social and Moral Behaviour Children are also shown how to behave in socially and morally acceptable ways, and are taught such values as co-operation, responsibility and mutual respect so that they become responsible members of the community. Planning the Curriculum There is a planned curriculum for the whole school and for each year group. This is a yearly, termly, weekly, daily plan, which encompasses the needs of the children, ensures equality of opportunity, and addresses the National Curriculum.
