In the summer term of 2018 all staff involved in teaching and learning of the pupils in our care undertook a review of our taught curriculum.

The aims of this review were to:

• Assess whether our current curriculum would match the needs of our children in 2018-19?
• Continue to develop new cross curricular learning opportunities to enhance core skills in writing, reading and maths.
• Introduce elements of a Shirley Clarke Project with our multi-academy trust to consider effective marking, feedback and assessment.
• Refresh our curriculum themes to engage pupils and maximise the resources bought in and training staff have undertaken in 2017-18.

As a result of this two significant changes have been introduced for 2017-18:

1. A new Marking and Feedback Policy for 2018.
2. Renewed long term curriculum plans for each class / year group for 2018-19.

We have also continued to map the Spiritual, Moral Social and Cultural Opportunities our curriculum provides each year for our children.  

This includes reviewing the impact and opportunities from the previous year with new opportunities planned in 2018-19.

We have also continued to consider how British Values along with our own core values can be taught and reinforced in our curriculum.
