Introduction:
The National Curriculum sets out what children should be taught. Attainment targets set out the expected standards of pupils' performance and schools may choose how they organise their school curriculum to cover the programmes of study from Year 1 to Year 6.
Children in Nursery and Reception follow the Early Years Foundation Stage.
We also adopt the following whole-school strategies in our teaching delivery across school:
- Phonics: Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised
- White Rose Maths
- Talk for Writing
- Sounds & Syllables
At Asterdale...
We provide all pupils with a curriculum which is broad, balanced and stimulates learning.
We aim to develop the skills and knowledge that help our children grow in confidence and maturity, enabling them to pursue academic, social and cultural activities.
We promote a range of enrichment activities and experiential learning.
