Summer Term Curriculum and Learning

Information for parents about what pupils are learning this term.

The children have had a super first week back after the Easter break and have really thrown themselves into their learning. They have also enjoyed another visit from Paralympian Sam Ruddock this week and listened well when he talked to them about perseverance and staying healthy.

The lovely sunshine and warm weather is certainly an improvement on last term and the children have been enjoying playtimes on the field. We do spend a lot of time outdoors in the summer term so it is important that pupils have sunhats and wear sun cream for protection. They also need trainers for their outdoor PE lessons.

Here are the Big Questions and links to curriculum newsletters for parents with details of what the children will be learning this term.

As we approach the end of the year, there will be much assessment this term and teachers will be preparing the children’s annual reports. Most importantly, there are a number of statutory assessments taking place:
