Curriculum

The school provides a broad and balanced curriculum for all our pupils. Our curriculum is rich, ambitious and relevant to the children in our community. It supports risk-taking, invites sharing of ideas and develops life-long learning. We ensure that learning is at an appropriate level for every child.


Early Years children have a curriculum, which meets the requirements set out in the Early Years Foundation Stage Statutory Framework. There are 7 areas of learning.

Three Prime Areas:

  • Communication and Language 

  • Physical Development

  • Personal, Social and Emotional Development

 

Four Specific Areas:

  •  Literacy

  • Mathematics

  • Understanding the World

  • Expressive Arts and Design

 

The curriculum is taught in a very hands on way and develops children’s exploration and independence skills.  

​

All children have the opportunity for learning through child initiated activities in the indoor and outdoor environment, adult led activities and direct teaching time.

​

Children in Year 1 to Year 6 follow the National Curriculum. All the children follow the programmes of study laid down in the National Curriculum.  

 

The core subjects are:

  • English

  • Mathematics 

  • Science

​

The other subjects are called the foundation subjects and include:

  • Art

  • Computing

  • Design Technology

  • Languages (for KS2 children only. At Crabtree  Farm we teach Spanish)

  • Geography

  • History

  • Music

  • P.E.

​

The children are also taught:

  • R.E (Religious Education)

  • PSHE (Personal, Social,Health and Economic) Education

  • RSHE (Relationship, Sex and Health Education)

​

The school teaches phonics using Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised.

​

We try to encourage parents/carers to be partners with us in their child’s education.  The most important way is through day to day contact.  We encourage a two way feedback between home and school; and appreciate parents/carers who support their child with any home learning. 

​

We have our Crabtree Stars every Friday, where we celebrate children's achievements. Each half term we have a Superstars Assembly to acknowledge pupils  who have worked incredibly hard over the half term.
