Concept based learning

When planning for our curriculum, teachers consider a range of concepts that they would like to cover that will support the development of a child's character and their emotional wellbeing. Each term the teacher, with the support of the children, chooses key concepts which filter through as many areas of the curriculum as possible. The concepts are taught through the children's project work (the foundation subjects) as well as the core texts, such as studying the book Wonder when learning about adversity. 

Please find below a list of concepts that the children may learn about, experience and be inspired by. The list also includes our school values: Equality, Pride and Success. The concepts covered are shared with parents via the termly curriculum newsletter. If you have any questions about the concepts covered in your child's class, please speak to your child's class teacher.
