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
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
