School Curriculum from September 2014

We follow the National Curriculum for England and Wales. Children learn the essential skills of English and mathematics, along with computing and other subjects including, science, design technology, history, geography, art, music, P.E., French and Religious Education. We are currently developing our curriculum into linked themes that engage and excite the children and meet their learning needs.

Educational visits, special events and guest speakers are an important part of our curriculum, We know that children learn best from special, memorable experiences so we build these into our lesson planning. Ready access to a tube station and several buses helps! Children enjoy whole school learning events and competitions such as Multiplication Month, Division-a-thon, Safety Week, Anti-Bullying Week, the International Festival and the Learning Adventure. All our classes have a garden plot in our school grounds so that they can learn through horticulture

Children who are new to learning English have additional tuition to help them access classroom learning. We organise additional, tailored provision for children who are falling behind in their learning, or who show that they have a skill or talent that needs developing.

The children have the opportunity to learn at lunchtime and after school by participating in clubs and other activities. “Welldon Park University” runs every term and allows the children to choose from a wide range of courses. At the beginning of the school year they take home a prospectus and choose their courses with their parents and carers. Courses can range from weaving and Bollywood dance to martial arts and percussion.

Each year, the whole school community comes together for a fortnight of fun and learning on a shared theme. In the past we learned about the school’s centenary, the Olympic games and why “Money Matters”. Our 2014 adventure was called “London Calling” and the school found out about our great capital city through trips, visitors and research.
