The National Curriculum
At Orion Mead Road we follow the National Curriculum for Years 1 and 2.
The National Curriculum provides the school with the outline of knowledge, skills and understanding that we are required to cover in school, but we are proud to offer a much broader curriculum than that, making the most of many and varied opportunities to broaden and enrich the curriculum for our children.
The National Curriculum comprises core and foundation subjects. The three major core "It will be exciting and will inspire children to nurture a passion for learning"subjects are English, mathematics and science and these take up a larger share of curriculum teaching time. The foundation subjects are: art and design, computing (previously Information and Communications Technology, or ICT), design and technology, geography, history, music, physical education and religious education. The main curriculum is extended with other aspects of learning, including personal, social and health education. There is also significant emphasis put on social, moral, spiritual and cultural development of individuals.
All children are given the opportunity to participate in a variety of sports and outdoor learning in the form of Forest School.
Our curriculum will be taught with the consideration of the needs of all learners. It will be exciting and will inspire children to nurture a passion for learning.
