The New Curriculum from EYFS to Year 6.
The Curriculum
The curriculum at Thornbury is divided into manageable units. For identification and planning purposes it is divided into twelve broad areas.
Creativity and problem solving are experienced across the year through a range of relevant curriculum areas and supported by the relevant National Curriculum programmes of study and Literacy and Numeracy Strategies. A particular focus is group work and thinking skills. The Every Child Matters Agenda is covered through a range of curriculum areas and involvement with other organisations.
For Science and the foundation subjects you will find a Knowledge and Skills Progression Grid, Subject Overview and examples of work from across the school. These are provided for each subject to demonstrate how knowledge and skills are built upon as children progress through the curriculum.
For any further enquiries relating to the curriculum here at Thornbury, please speak to a member of the team who will be happy to help.
Curriculum Accessibility for Equality and SEND
We aim to ensure our curriculum provision is accessible for all. As a result, there are a variety of adaptations made to ensure all pupils can access the full breadth of the curriculum offered here at Thornbury. As the school incorporates the Language Support Centre for the city, and children who access this provision are integrated into class full time, there are a range of strategies used as part of daily practise to support access for these pupils that others also benefit from. Our inclusion team work closely alongside teachers, pupils and parents to enable access for all, and all staff are committed to helping all pupils progress through their learning and development.
