Curriculum Overviews

Our curriculum has been carefully designed to make sure it is both relevant and meaningful for our children and the community. We have worked hard to develop a stimulating learning experience which incorporates exciting hooks into learning.

English is a key priority at Coleridge. Many children who attend our school do not speak English as a first language and it is key that we offer a language rich curriculum so that their vocabularies are developed and nurtured. This begins with a sharp focus on developing language in the EYFS through first hand, concrete experiences which both excite and engage children through their own interests. This is continued in school and supported by a programme called ‘It’s Only Words’ where children are introduced to new vocabulary on a daily basis.

Maths and Science are also of great importance to our children. In our modern ever-changing context, these subjects provide children with the skills to understand and master a technological world. In Maths, we use a range of teaching approaches to ensure that children master skills in both arithmetic and reasoning. This is supported by the ‘White Rose’ scheme and a calculation policy which provides a framework for progression through school. In Science, staff work hard to provide the children with a variety of activities that involve lots of scientific experiences. The children are encouraged to think and investigate in a number of ways, through a ‘hands on’ approach which allows children to develop their understanding of different scientific concepts.

Personal, social, and emotional development is also a crucial aspect of our commitment to our children’s happiness and wellbeing. Through our delivery of ‘Philosophy for Children’, we aim to ensure each child develops a deep understanding of not only themselves, but their peers and other members of our society. We strive to prepare them to become positive citizens of our community and try to ensure they understand the importance of a healthy and active lifestyle. Many different important concepts are taught during PSHE, which not only prepare children for the future, but also ensure that, at present, they are healthy, positive and confident individuals.

In recent years, PE and Sports has become a huge focus for us and a key priority is that all children take part in sport and games as part of the curriculum. Staff work hard to offer a range of extra-curricular clubs in addition to this and our approach has led to us gaining the Silver Sports Mark Award and many, many successes in inter-school competitions.

Obviously, our curriculum covers many more subjects and themes. Below are our Long Term Overviews which detail specific topics and national curriculum coverage. Please explore them and do not hesitate to contact school if you have any questions.

RE-Rotherham agreed syllabus Myself: who am I? Children think about aspects of identity shown in family, community and choices. They hear some religious stories about who we are, and talk about some beliefs linked to these stories. They discover that some objects are special because they help us answer the question: who am I?

Themes: Story, Symbols, Mysel

Christmas, Diwali

Celebrations: What matters at Christmas? Children learn about the stories, customs, celebrations and beliefs of Christmas, and talk about what matters most in celebrations. They link Christian celebrations of Christmas to celebration in their own lives. Stories that are remembered, music that tells stories, drama which helps to celebrate and many other ways of looking at the festival are useful.

Themes: Celebrations, Symbols

Stories: What stories of Jesus do Christians love to tell? Children learn some stories told about Jesus and stories he told. They think about the meanings of the stories using literacy strategies, and discover how Christians today use these stories – e.g. the Wedding at Cana and Christian weddings.

Themes: Story, Believing, Leaders and Teachers

Stories: What stories about Moses do Jews love to tell? From the baby in the bulrushes, the burning bush, the Passover and Exodus and the ten commandments, children learn to explore Jewish ideas and celebrations through active learning. A wide range of dynamic storytelling methods and role play, hot seating and literacy work make the stories come alive.

Themes: Story, Believing, Belonging

Festivals: how do Jewish people celebrate? Using personal examples such as parties, Red Nose Day and birthdays children develop their understanding of festivals and celebrations to include examples such as Shabbat. Pesach and Hannukah. They explore the stories, customs, foods and gifts associated with the celebrations.

Themes: Celebrations, Symbols

Churches and synagogues: What can we find out? Children discover the uses and designs of holy buildings and how to enquire into them, building their knowledge of worship through visits, models, creative work, visual learning and ICT. They find out who is a leader at a church or a synagogue and how these people help their community. Children look for and identify the meanings in artefacts and symbols found in churches or synagogues.
