“Let the questions be the curriculum” Socrates
At Copeland Road we believe that our children are the heart of our curriculum. We take into account our pupils needs and interests when we are planning our curriculum particularly in EYFS and KS1. Our curriculum follows the National Curriculum; however we strive to make our curriculum go above and beyond these requirements. Where appropriate, some of our subjects have moved to an enquiry-based approach, where children are faced with a learning question to answer, as we find this sparks our children’s inquisitive minds and gives a purpose for their learning. Below you will find details about individual subjects including our long-term plans (intent) and detailed information about how subjects are taught (implementation). In school, we are working on the best way to assess our subjects (impact), details about this will be added soon. We teach many of our subjects in ‘blocks’ where children can immerse themselves in the topic and become experts. This helps our children to know more and remember more. Other subjects are taught weekly, for example, P.E. and Computing as it is important for the children to have regular opportunities in these subjects.
