Curriculum Intent and Rationale
Intent
At Grange Park Infant and Nursery School, we aim to offer all pupils an education that nurtures and develops the values, attitudes, knowledge and skills they need to flourish and make a positive impact in our community and the wider world.
With this in mind, we have implemented an ambitious and aspirational curriculum that is relevant, exciting, promotes active learning and enables pupils to be more ‘outward facing’. This, in turn, should lead to them becoming well-rounded individuals.
We also want to foster in them the school values of Love, Happiness and Peace promoting an understanding of the importance of these values within a diverse community. In particular, we aim to provide opportunities for learning which enable our children to grow in resilience and independence as a priority.
We aim to empower our pupils in developing their identity, not only as part of the community but as respectful, responsible global citizens.
Rationale for Implementation
We use Dimensions ‘Learning Means the World’ Curriculum as the main vehicle for achieving our outlined intent, with a view to providing an ambitious, highly visible curriculum offer.
We follow two learning pathways at our school- Explorers in the Early Years (Nursery and Reception) and Pathfinders in KS1 (Year 1 and Year 2).
Our Knowledge Organisers and Long Term Planning documents are used to plan each lesson and help parents understand the key concepts in the topic being studied each term. You can find them at the button below.
