Curriculum at Totternhoe CE Academy

Picture
Our Curriculum statement:
​At Totternhoe CE Academy, our Curriculum prepares our children to ASPIRE!
 Totternhoe CE Academy ASPIRE curriculum encourages and enables our children to be:
Aspirational – in their outlook, aiming to be the best they can be, achieving their goals for the future
Successful – in achieving/celebrating individual, step-by-step challenges in all areas of learning
Prepared for life – through their personal development of Christian values, equipping them for life in our multi-cultural society; through being confident and skilled in using and applying their learning in our ever-changing, technologically advancing world
Independent – learners who are self-motivated and take responsibility for their learning; confident in managing themselves, their feelings and their belongings
Resilient– recognising and embracing the positive opportunities for personal growth and learning offered by facing challenges
Empowered – by encouragement, growing confidence and self-awareness of their own strengths, to be effective learners, responsible and considerate members of the local and wider community, prepared and open to face future challenges and opportunities.
 
The curriculum is delivered through a theme-based approach, across Early Years, KS1 and LKS2.
Standalone subjects include PE, RE, PSHCE, Computing, Science, Mathematics and English. All are incorporated in the theme-based curriculum wherever links are possible, with a strong emphasis on writing for a range of purposes across the curriculum. Art and Music are taught through the theme where possible, using National Curriculum 2014.
Termly, themed units are planned for KS1 and KS2, with differentiation within these themes, appropriate for each year group. Half-termly themes are planned in Early Years.
Themes are designed to ensure that there is full coverage of the National Curriculum in each subject area over the academic year/Key Stage. Many subjects are planned on a two-year rolling program, to ensure coverage for mixed year group classes.
