Curriculum
Little learners, big achievers
A passion and love of learning
At Arden Forest Infant School we pride ourselves on providing an exciting and engaging curriculum for all children, that inspires them to develop a passion and a love of learning. Our aim is to nurture happy, successful and independent life-long learners with healthy minds, bodies and spirit.
We firmly believe the driving force behind the delivery of a broad and balanced inspirational curriculum for all learners, is a clear focus on excellent teaching and learning which ensures all children engage in a range of learning experiences which are challenging, real life and meaningful. Responding to children’s individual learning needs, specific requirements and learning styles.
Our intent
Our curriculum supports children to achieve excellence in a caring and inspirational learning environment.
Planning for teaching and learning ensures that our children are:
- Active: where our children are encouraged to seek out and enjoy challenges, to collaborate with others and assess themselves and others
- Develop basic skills such as: to speak clearly and convey ideas confidently, to read and communicate efficiently and apply skills to solve problems and to use new technologies confidently and purposefully
- Foster Creative Thinking: to ask questions to extend their thinking, to generate ideas and explore possibilities, to overcome barriers by trying out alternatives or to connect ideas and experiences in inventive ways new solutions
At Arden Forest we are continually reviewing our curriculum in order to ensure that our children receive an education that is relevant to the world in which they live.
