taught according to government guidelines. In order to allow children to reach
their full potential we sometimes place them in appropriate teaching groups.

The subject areas are organised as follows:
Behaviour

Process for teaching behaviour explicitly.
1. Identify the routines/behaviours that you want to see.
2. Communicate in detail your expectations.
3. Practice the routines until everybody can do them.
4. Reinforce, maintain and monitor the routines constantly.

It is essential that all staff know the details of this curriculum, teach it
explicitly to pupils and continuously maintain the high standards we set. By
doing so we support each other to create a culture where pupils feel safe
and are able to learn in an optimised environment and where teachers are free to
teach unimpeded.

English
Language development is a vital part of a child’s education. We therefore
place great importance on the development of language skills, with English as
one of the core curriculum subjects. We aim to help children become
confident and imaginative in using English for a variety of purposes. Teachers
focus on all aspects of English in the National Curriculum – reading, writing,
spelling, grammar, presentation.

Language development underpins the entire curriculum. English is specifically
taught through daily English lessons but is also taught and embedded through
other areas of the curriculum.
