Curriculum
Extended curriculum:
trips and visits
To extend the curriculum, and make learning even more fun, we offer many trips and activities. These vary from places in the immediate locality to Hampton Court Palace in London, and a residential trip to The Pioneer Centre near Cleobury Mortimer for children in Year 6.
‘Fabulous Finish’
All trips are linked to learning themes and they will often signify the ‘marvellous middle’ of the theme or occasionally the ‘fabulous finish’ to celebrate the end of the theme.
Trips have included:
• Year 1 and 2: Think Tank and planetarium - The Theme of Time Travellers
• Year 3 and 4: The Ruskin Glass Centre and Dudley Canal Trust
• Year 5 and 6: Sealife Centre and Woodgate Valley River Study
The thematic approach is crucial to how we work at Crestwood Park and the ‘fabulous finish’ has become a big event to which
so many parents and extended family will come along. Sometimes this is marked by something as simple as a work sharing but it can also be a performance or joint learning experience with parents.
Awards and Achievements
The school has been re-awarded the Basic Skills Mark which celebrates and supports continuous improvements in literacy and numeracy.
We are very proud to have come second in two categories for Dudley Young writers in 2014 and in 2015 we have reached the finals of the Dudley inter schools maths competition for Year 3 and Year 4 and are hopeful of success.
We work to support children to achieve the best they can be so that they can achieve all that they deserve. We are proud to have pupils who have gone on to be selected for attendance at Wolverhampton Girls High School after attending Crestwood Park Primary School.
