ABOUT THE CURRICULUM AT WELLGATE PRIMARY SCHOOL
|
The school’s curriculum is centred on the Local Education Authority’s Entitlement guidelines and the National Curriculum Regulations. In this way, we aim to provide a broad and balanced curriculum, which will develop the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes of each child.
The opportunities for learning, which we provide, are enriched with practical and first-hand experiences. This is achieved by the teachers, throughout the age groups, planning for the whole school year using the Programmes of Study and Attainment Targets as laid down in the National Curriculum. Each year the children undertake a programme of study which concentrates on themes / topics. These themes are carefully chosen by the teachers as part of a continuous process to encourage, motivate and stimulate the children in every aspect of the curriculum.
The school aims to provide a balanced but flexible curriculum so that every child receives an adequate grounding in literacy, numeracy and other essential skills needed in our fast-changing world. The curriculum is carefully planned so that there is continuity in the children’s learning and progression in the experiences provided. This ensures that every child’s individual ability is catered for.
