Foundation Subjects
Information and Communication Technology.
Each class has its own computer and we have a wide range of programs to support all curriculum areas. We have a specialist room for ICT where children will have experience of word processing, the internet, control, monitoring, art, design, data and information handling as they move through the school.

History and Geography
We aim to stimulate and interest children, to make children aware of their surroundings and give them a sense of time and place. Key Stage One history might include inviting a grandparent to come and talk about life when they were at school, later years geography might involve children in investigating land use whilst on a residential visit.

Technology
There will be opportunities for children to design, make and test models. They will have the use of a variety of simple tools in carefully supervised situations. Sometimes they will use construction kits, at other times they will make use of everyday materials. Children will also take part in cookery in our specially designed cookery area.

Art
Children will be given the opportunity to work with different media, including paint, fabrics, threads, dyes, modelling, weaving, etc. We have our own kiln for pottery. Children will be introduced to the work of famous artists so that by the time they leave us we hope that they will have had a chance to develop their own skills as well as admire the work of others.

Music
Music is an important part of our work and essentially a practical subject. From their earliest years children will take part in playing instruments, singing, and composing tunes. Children will be introduced to the work of famous composers and given the chance to listen to and appreciate the work of others. We also aim to give as many children as possible the chance to learn the recorder. There are also limited opportunities for children to learn to play string, brass and woodwind instruments with visiting music teachers.
