What do we want to achieve with our curriculum?

We want our children to:

• Be inquisitive, confident individuals with a positive attitude to life-long learning which will support them through their education and life beyond school.
• Leave Sherwood having achieved their full potential in reading, writing, maths and the rest of the curriculum.
• Have experiences both inside and outside Warsop to broaden their learning opportunities. 
•  

We understand that some of our children find coming to school very hard, and sometimes they have very tricky things to cope with at home. Alongside all of the above we also want to support these children and their families to make sure that they are not disadvantaged by circumstances, and to make sure that they have every opportunity to flourish at Sherwood.
 

We organise our curriculum by:

• Following agreed long term plans (headlines), medium term plans (detail) and short term plans (class and children specific)
• Sometimes following a published scheme (for example White Rose Maths or Charanga in music) and sometimes developing our own progression maps of learning
• Linking learning together as often as we can so that it makes sense (for example weighing in cooking, measuring in DT)
   

Every term we share an overview of the curriculum for parents in the newsletter.

Further detail regarding each curriculum subject can be found via the individual subject pages below.
