Curriculum Statement

Roe Green Infant School is a place where children feel proud to belong — here's how our curriculum is designed to help every child achieve their true potential.

Our Ethos

As part of our school ethos, we teach children to be proud to belong to our school community and to be proud to be respectful, resilient, trustworthy, safe & healthy, positive, creative, an achiever, independent, honest and friendly. We want our children to feel safe, secure and valued in an atmosphere which enables them to achieve their true potential.

​

We pride ourselves on being an inclusive school where everyone can achieve success and develop their skills of independence, whatever their background. We welcome, value and share the culture, traditions and languages of all our families. We hold high expectations of ourselves and all those who work within our school community, and these expectations translate to the children in our care. We value each child as an individual with a unique potential for learning — enabled from the early stages to be active, enquiring and open-minded thinkers, ambitious for themselves, and able to broaden their horizons.

Planning and Progression

Knowledge underpins and enables the application of skill. We strive for children to learn skills alongside acquiring knowledge, with an emphasis on cross-curricular teaching, making the curriculum relevant and meaningful and providing more opportunities for contextual learning.

​

We believe it is our responsibility to develop children's basic literacy and numeracy skills so that they can engage with and access the wider curriculum. Using the Early Years Foundation Stage 2021 and National Curriculum 2014 as a basis, alongside a variety of schemes, age-appropriate progression in knowledge for each core and foundation subject has been identified and mapped out, ensuring coverage is secured across EYFS and KS1. We carefully select the sequence of when, what and how knowledge is taught, and subject faculties work actively to review this regularly.
