Curriculum

Picture
Our Elloughton Vision:

For children to know more and be able to do more.

​Curriculum
​
The curriculum at Elloughton is exciting, inspiring and knowledge-rich! 

Curriculum Intent 
Our engaging curriculum provides our children with the skills, knowledge and understanding they need to become well rounded individuals who are able to confidently make informed decisions and  positive contributions to local and national life. It is rooted in our school values. 

We are fully committed to providing a broad and balanced, engaging, progressive,  relevant and  challenging yet supportive curriculum that can be tailored and personalised to include all of our pupils. 


Our Curriculum Design 
The National Curriculum provides schools with a clear programme of study for all schools to follow. At Elloughton, we see this as a starting point for our own bespoke curriculum to meet the needs of our learners. 
With our children and moral compass  in mind, our subject leaders have carefully planned a coherently sequenced curriculum that continuously builds and develops knowledge. Leaders continually consider the crucial knowledge that children need to learn in order to achieve the end goals of their education at Elloughton. To enhance our children’s cultural capital, teachers carefully consider how they can embellish each unit by inviting visitors into school and planning educational visits. 

Learning occurs when there is an alteration in long -term memory. All subjects are taught regularly, if not weekly, to maximise knowledge retention. We use a range of teaching activities that implement each subject most effectively. We know that children remember more when they are given the opportunity to retrieve and rehearse prior knowledge. We use several high challenge, low threat methods that allow for retrieval practice including the leitner system and multiple choice quizzes. We know children have made progress when they are able to remember more, do more, understand more and communicate more. 

Our Process of Learning​

Picture
Floorbooks 
We have implemented a floorbook approach to several of our wider curriculum subjects. This method promotes discussion and reflection whilst providing opportunities for children to regularly recap and recall previous knowledge. This inclusive approach allows all children to communicate their knowledge and understanding in a range of ways. 

All of our curriculum planning is designed to meet the statutory requirements of the Early Years and National Curriculum.

Foundation Stage
The Early Years Foundation Stage is a framework for children up to the age of five, setting out seven key areas of learning around which activities should be based.
The EYFS framework sets out welfare and developmental goals for children five years and under.

The development section covers:
  •   Personal, social and emotional development
  •   Communication and language 
  •   Physical development
  •   Literacy
  •   Maths
  •   Understanding of the world
  •   Expressive Arts and Design

Our Approach
At Elloughton Primary School, phonics is taught throughout EYFS, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 (where required).  The objectives are taken from The National Curriculum, as is the programme of study. Phonics is taught daily, in small groups appropriate to the needs of pupils.
Our phonic’s programme is consistent throughout the school and is based on a multisensory approach where pupil's listening, speaking and visual recognition are all being stimulated at the same time. This makes learning meaningful and long lasting. 
We have adapted this approach using parts of the Jolly Phonics and the Read, Write, Inc. schemes. Every phonics session follows the same structure where pupils revisit previous skills, learn something new, practise this and then apply their learning through short reading and writing tasks.  

National Phonic Screening
All children in Year One will be screened using the National Assessment materials in the summer term. The test usually takes place in June and consists of children reading 40 words which are a variety of real and pseudo (made up) words. 
If a child in Year One does not reach the required level then additional support will be put in place in order for the child to make accelerated progress with their reading and writing. They will be retested when they are in Year Two. This data will be submitted to the local Authority.
 
Reading Scheme
Our decodable reading books are organised in the given sequence of the Bug Club programme and reading books build letter-sound correspondences cumulatively. In addition to daily phonic lessons, early reading is developed through ‘group reading’ sessions. During these sessions reading is taught in small groups to develop phonic knowledge, fluency and comprehension skills. These sessions develop pupils' confidence in reading texts/books that closely match the letter-sound correspondences at home and at school. Pupils practise sounding out the words in the story and read exception words before they read the text/book then are expected to re-read these texts/books at school and home to build fluency. Any pupils falling behind are given extra practice to re-read these texts/books and they continue to read books in a progressive sequence until they can decode unfamiliar words confidently.
In addition to a home reading book children in EYFS and KS1 have access (at school and home) to Bug Club Online where texts are carefully selected and issued linked to children’s phonics teaching and reading ability. Children will also have the opportunity to read books that are slightly more challenging to ensure exposure to a range of genres, themes and more challenging vocabulary.
