Curriculum Intent Statement
The curriculum at Norristhorpe J&I School has been devised to foster a life-long love of learning where each and every pupil is encouraged and challenged to be the best that they can be. For more information please contact school.
The National Curriculum is our starting point; in each subject work is planned sequentially to stimulate and engage all learners. We are ambitious and have high expectations; our pupils work hard, develop resilience and take pride in all they do.
We carefully map out the key knowledge and skills across the primary curriculum to ensure it is relevant, cumulative and achieves progression, preparing pupils for their secondary school experience and ultimately for life in modern Britain.
The foundation of our academic curriculum is built upon the belief that pupils will truly thrive when they are safe, secure and happy and as such great emphasis is placed on pupils’ wellbeing.
In KS1 we use LCP phonics and our reading scheme is Collins Big Cat.
Our Core Values encapsulate our aspirations for all pupils.
The most important of our core values ‘TOGETHER’ supports the philosophy that we are in partnership with pupils, their parents and the community to deliver a first class start to a child’s education.
