OUR VISION

The curriculum is the totality of pupils’ learning experiences. At Portway Infant School we believe that our curriculum should be broad, balanced and relevant and meet the needs of all children whatever their ability. The taught curriculum is comprised of The National Curriculum and the wider curriculum. We ensure the children have a range of learning experiences that challenge, stimulate and promote thinking and learning. The curriculum meets statutory requirements and supports the children in developing life skills.

Aims

The aims of the curriculum are to:

• promote high standards in reading, writing and maths;
• enable children to acquire knowledge and skills in science;
• enable children to be confident in the use of ICT;
