From September 2014 a new curriculum will be introduced in all primary schools. The new curriculum reflects higher expectations for achievement in Reading, Writing and Maths, while re-emphasising the importance of providing children with a broad and balanced curriculum.
At St Peter's we are proud of our children's attainment in the core subjects, which are consistently above national expectation when they leave school, as well as the range of subjects and experiences the children receive in school.
The school curriculum in England (extract)
Every state-funded school must offer a curriculum which is balanced and broadly based and which:
- promotes the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of pupils at the school and of society, and
- prepares pupils at the school for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of later life.
The school curriculum comprises all learning and other experiences that each school plans for its pupils. The National Curriculum forms one part of the school curriculum.
All state schools are also required to make provision for a daily act of collective worship and must teach religious education to pupils at every key stage and sex and relationship education to pupils in secondary education.
Maintained schools in England are legally required to follow the statutory National Curriculum which sets out in Programmes of Study, on the basis of key stages, subject content for those subjects that should be taught to all pupils. All schools must publish their school curriculum by subject and academic year online.
All schools should make provision for personal, social, health and economic education (PSHE), drawing on good practice. Schools are also free to include other subjects or topics of their choice in planning and designing their own programme of education.
SUBJECTS
The subjects of the revised National Curriculum are English, Mathematics, Science (Core) Art & Design, Citizenship, Computing, Design & Technology, Languages, Geography, History, Music and Physical Education.
