We follow the National Curriculum for the core subjects of:
- English
- Maths
- Science
- Information & Communication Technology
- Religious Education
We also teach Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE), as well as these foundation subjects:
- Design & Technology
- History
- Geography
- Music
- PE
- Art
The nursery and reception classes follow the curriculum guidance for the foundation years. This includes six areas for learning:
- personal, social and emotional development
- communication, language and literacy
- mathematical development
- knowledge and understanding of the world
- physical development
- creative development
Classes progress as a year group.
Each reception class has a qualified nursery nurse to assist the teacher.
Other teachers and primary helpers provide additional classroom assistance throughout the school.
Phase leaders oversee standards of achievement for each phase and monitor curriculum planning.
Each subject area has a leader, responsible for raising achievement levels.
We believe that no single method of teaching is ideal for all topics and that a variety of approaches creates breadth and balance in the curriculum.
Therefore, children encounter a mixture of techniques, including an appropriate balance of whole class, group and individual work.
As the children get older they are set term targets.
These are decided upon by discussion between the children and their class teacher.
Literacy Hour and Daily Numeracy session are firmly in place at Belleville.
