The Curriculum at Ravenswood Primary School
Ravenswood Primary School provides a broad, balanced and creative curriculum, in line with the National Curriculum. A wide range of subjects are taught focusing on the development of knowledge, understanding and skills, with a strong emphasis on the core subjects of English, mathematics and science and designed to ensure that pupils of all abilities will excel. A curriculum where pupils develop knowledge, understanding and skills through the teaching of English, mathematics, science, computing, RE, PSHE, geography, history, music, art, design & technology, french and physical education will be taught, where relevant links will be made between subjects.
There will be daily lessons in English and mathematics. The use of ICT/ computing will be incorporated across the curriculum and the whole school curriculum will be underpinned by social, moral, spiritual and cultural education, with a values based and inclusive approach.
There is the highest expectations for the behaviour and safety of the pupils at our school.
The highest emphasis will be placed on the acquisition of the key skills of reading, writing and oral communication in literacy, which will be evidenced through pupils’ work across all curriculum areas.
In addition, the teaching of mathematics will focus on age appropriate mathematical knowledge as a starting point, with high expectations in each year group and an application of mathematical skills across the curriculum.
Ravenswood's teaching staff and subject leaders have created an overview of the topics/areas to be covered each term. Our school curriculum covers the requirements of the National Curriculum.
