CURRICULUM

Curriculum Intent

We are a Rights Respecting School. Article 29 of the UNHCR states:

Education must develop every child’s personality, talents and abilities to the full. It must encourage the child’s respect for human rights, as well as respect for their parents, their own and other cultures, and the environment.

We will provide a broad and balanced curriculum using a cross curricular approach. We will teach knowledge and skills which recognise and build on children’s prior learning. Pupil voice is encouraged and used to enhance our planning.

We use the East Allington values of ABC to promote positive attitudes to learning which reflect the values and skills needed to promote responsibility for learning and future success.

Our curriculum is based on the 2014 National Curriculum which is covered in mixed age classes through a two-year rolling programme.

Children leave East Allington empowered, having a voice and able to contribute to a positive future. We believe this as we are a Rights Respecting School.

Assemblies

These are used to bring the school community together and encourage our family ethos. Key messages around pupil safety and discussions around events in the wider world will be aired in these assemblies. e also hold class assemblies which enable classes to share their work with their peers.
