Our curriculum is designed to enable children to engage fully with the characteristics of effective learning:

Playing and exploring

  • Children investigate and experience things, and ‘have a go’.
  • Children who actively participate in their own play develop a larger store of information and experiences to draw on which positively supports their learning

Active learning

  • Children concentrate and keep on trying if they encounter difficulties.
  • They are proud of their own achievements.
  • For children to develop into self-regulating, lifelong learners they are required to take ownership, accept challenges and learn persistence.

Creating and thinking critically

  • Children develop their own ideas and make links between these ideas.
  • They think flexibly and rationally, drawing on previous experiences which help them to solve problems and reach conclusions.
