From September 2023, here at Woodlands we are amending our curriculum and are beginning to implement a more creative thematic curriculum using Cornerstones to support teacher creativity and imagination. This is a nationally recognised approach for delivering outstanding learning opportunities for children.
We will use the Cornerstones curriculum as the foundation for the work we deliver in school. Staff will use this as the core of their planning to ensure curriculum coverage.
There will be amendments and adjustments made throughout this year to our curriculum as we adapt to the new content and also to reflect the needs of the children, the interests of the cohort (and teacher) and local influences. Curriculum content information will be added to this section of our website in due course.
Due to the fact we have some mixed aged classes in school, we operate a 2 year cycle of themes in some phases so that pupils do not repeat content.
Please find below details of each project classes will experience.
Please also note that we currently do not follow the Barefoot Computing curriculum but will be exploring this further throughout 2023/24. We will continue to follow our exiting Woodlands Computing curriculum this academic year.
