The School aims to cater for the needs of all its children, motivating them to achieve their full potential. Some children have special educational needs and for these children the school will provide an individual educational plan, agreed with class teachers, the child and the parents. Support from specialists will be sought following permission from parents.
Early recognition of needs is the responsibility of the class teacher, in co-operation with parents. Progress targets for individual children are set, reviewed each half term and monitored. Careful record-keeping, discussion and informed observation help staff to keep parents aware of their child's progress. Support from outside agencies reinforce achievement and, provides the necessary expertise.
A designated Governor carefully monitors the provision every half term. Special educational needs cover physical, moral, and academic support, both for the least and most able children.
All children are required to cover the programmes of study in the science element of National Curriculum. Pupils are taught that all animals, including humans, reproduce and grow into adults. They learn the processes, including nutrition, movement, growth and reproduction, common to all animals, including humans, and the main stages of the human life cycle.
Sex and relationships' education is not taught as a separate subject until years 5 and 6, but if children ask questions, their teacher will answer in an appropriate manner relevant to the age and development of the child. A variety of books is available for the children to read in school and to bring home. We believe that sex education should encourage pupils to respect themselves and each other, to understand feelings and to value positive relationships.
The school follows the New Norfolk Agreed Syllabus for Religious Education. The children are taught about Christianity, the other major world religions and how religions can help and enhance the lives of those who embrace them. They are encouraged to look at their own experiences to discover how moral issues affect all our lives and how our actions can affect other people. They learn to respect the right of others to hold beliefs different from their own. We aim to promote Christian values throughout the life of the school. Daily collective worship is held to promote a caring, Christian environment. Parents have the right to withdraw their child from collective worship or religious education. Please speak to the Headteacher if this will apply to your child.
