The Curriculum

At Crockerton C of E Primary School, we believe that learning should be fun, purposeful and challenging. Through our effective and creative curriculum we aim to equip each child with the skills they need for lifelong learning. We aim to develop confident learners, who take ownership of their learning and are proud of their achievements.

At Crockerton Primary School we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework in the Early Years Foundation Stage and the National Curriculum in Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2.

For phonics, from Reception to Year 6, the teachers have all been trained in Sounds-Write. An expertly structured synthetic phonics programme based on the science of reading. This multisensory, code-oriented, comprehensive approach to literacy has been designed by teachers—for teachers. Sounds-Write is validated by the Department for Education (DfE) in England as an effective systematic synthetic phonics programme (SSP).
 
For Mathematics, the whole school uses CanDoMaths. CanDoMaths resources supports teachers with deepening and securing understanding in maths, and have been structured specifically to build children's confidence in maths. CanDoMaths also offers comprehensive planning approach which covers the whole curriculum for Years Reception  to Year 6.
