We aim to offer a full, broad, balanced, deep and rich curriculum which ensures that every child is given the opportunity to shine and flourish.
Implementation
At World's End it is our underlying belief that every child should feel valued and experience the feeling of success in a wide range of curriculum areas. We have designed, organised and planned our curriculum to ensure that every child receives an appropriate mix of academic and personal development and therefore our carefully crafted curriculum balances the national expectations with an all-encompassing range of experiences.
The curriculum is delivered through broad based half termly topics, using the EYFS and National Curriculum Programmes of Study as a starting point for the content and linking them in a cross curricular way with other subjects that naturally fit together. Although there is a thematic approach we have designed, planned and organised our curriculum to ensure that children are not merely covering content but achieving a depth to their learning. Below is the long-term overview of the topics covered within the school.
In maths the 'white rose' scheme of learning is followed whilst in phonics the 'Little Wandle' scheme is used across the school to teach systematic phonics. Please find links and further information under the Maths and English curriculum pages.
Impact
Our balanced approach to the curriculum is not at the expense of high standards in core subject areas. High standards and enabling children to reach national expectations and above is of vital importance if they are to succeed at the next stage of their education and go on to achieve full and happy lives and careers. Our full and rich curriculum with its excellent range of experiences ensures that every child at Worlds End makes excellent progress both academically and personally.
The range of experiences we offer support and champion our culture and ensures that our children benefit from a full range of academic, spiritual, moral, social and cultural activities. These activities enrich their lives and those of our whole school community and make them proud of their British values and diverse society to which they belong and play an active part. We are proud that our curriculum gives our children the skills, confidence and self-belief to lead a happy and fulfilled life by encouraging them to aim high and work towards their goals and dreams in life.
Our curriculum statement is fully aligned with Birmingham's which is a statement and guarantee from the Council for the future of children in Birmingham. A copy can be found below.
