Longleaze School Curriculum ‘Learning for Life’
In our school, the ethos is to place the child at the centre of everything by creating a caring environment where your child will be valued and nurtured into a confident and independent learner. This has inspired our model of a ‘Longleaze Learner’. This model reflects our school’s core values to promote positive learning behaviour.
The aims of the Longleaze Curriculum:
- is broad and balanced;
- inspires pupils and ignites their interest in learning;
- supports our pupils’ physical and mental well-being;
- develops pupils spiritually, morally, social and culturally;
- provides pupils with the cultural capital the need to be successful in life;
- is accessible to all pupils including pupils that are disadvantaged and those with SEND;
enables pupils to develop knowledge, understand concepts and acquire sequential skills which they can commit to long term learning.
The Intent, Implementation and Impact Statements
At Longleaze, our programmes of study are based on the Primary National Curriculum. Each subject within our curriculum has an Intent, Implementation and Impact statement. The Intent statement outlines the main aims of the subject, which are outlined in the Primary National Curriculum. The Implementation statement outlines how these aims are met within our school. This statement clearly describes the school’s approach to delivering each subject. Finally, the Impact statement summarises the desired outcomes for children, as a result of their learning.
The Intent, Implementation and Impact statements for each subject can be found on the individual subject pages.
A Longleaze learner…
- aims high and takes responsibility for their learning and their actions.
- shares their ideas and listens respectfully to the views of others.
- focuses on their learning and is proud of what they achieve.
- has a sense of what is right and wrong.
- makes a positive contribution to our local community and the wider world.
- embraces new ideas and is curious about the world around them.
- grasps opportunities to discover their skills and talents.
- is resilient and bounces back when things get difficult.
- is brave and courageous.
- is kind, helpful and supportive of others.
The different aspects of the Longleaze Learner are each represented with an action. These actions help our pupils remember what it means to be a Longleaze Learner.
School Curriculum Maps
Our aim is to provide every child with the opportunities to acquire the qualities, skills and knowledge they need for a real life time. With this clear goal in mind, we design a rich and stimulating curriculum which develops self-aware learners through high quality content in a stimulating environment. We have high expectations for every single child to achieve and we tailor teaching and learning methods so that all children are included in the curriculum.
To enable us to teach the curriculum in an engaging, creative and rigorous way we use a two year rolling programme in key stage one and a four year rolling programme in key stage two. Subject and curriculum overviews are included on this page. These form the basis of our curriculum; changes may be made to reflect external or internal factors.
A parents’ guide to the National Primary Curriculum for years 1-6, and a link to the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework, is on each class page (under ‘Children’).
Due to our pupil admission number, our key stage two classes are mixed ages. To ensure an equality of provision we run a four year rolling programme across the key stage. In some terms classes are taught as single year groups in specific subjects.
