Curriculum
Our school's curriculum is organised in order to promote learning, and personal growth and development. It includes not only the formal requirements of the National Curriculum 2014, but also the various extra-curricular activities that the school organises in order to enrich the children's experience. We provide a rich, broad, balanced, and creative curriculum. Our curriculum gives Long Lawford a distinct identity and ethos, reflecting our values, our place within the local community and an awareness of the wider world in which we live. Above all, we aim to make our curriculum a hugely rich experience for all our pupils, laying the foundations for all children to Love, Learn, Persevere and Succeed.
Early Years Foundation Stage Profile
When your child starts pre-school, staff will informally monitor your child’s development and keep detailed records. This information is shared with families and either transferred to the reception class or to the child’s new school (for the start of reception).
Children, upon entry to Reception, will be assessed via the Reception Baseline Assessment.
Your child will continue to be assessed throughout reception class where staff will add information to an assessment profile for each individual. Insights will be shared at two parent/carer consultation meetings, but you can book additional meetings with your child’s class teacher if you wish.
Your child will have a learning journal of photos, learning observations and comments. All children are reviewed termly, and this information helps to dictate planning for future lessons. All children's end-of-reception assessments are submitted to the Local Authority and the Department for Education.
Year 6 SATs Revision & Support
Some people refer to these tests as ‘SATs’. The tests help measure the attainment of pupils in relation to the standards set out in the national curriculum, and help teachers and parents identify where pupils may need additional support in a certain subject area. The tests are also used to assess schools’ performance, and school-level results data is used to produce national and regional performance statistics.
