Tavistock Infant School
New Curriculum Evening
We strongly believe that in order for children to achieve they
do need to be happy, safe and secure. We are a partnership and
expect your support. We expect children to respect each other and
the adults in school. We expect children to try their best and have
a good attitude to their learning.
We have committed teachers and assistants who give their all. We
have amazing children who all have different strengths.Children
take part in Enrichment activities. We have supportive parents. We
strive to make our teaching as exciting and interesting as we can
BUT we are not entertainers!
The new curriculum does not cover Reception as they follow the
new EYFS curriculum from 2012.There is a much higher focus in the
new curriculum on teaching Maths and English. The standards have
also been increased. Year 2 will be following the current
curriculum for Maths and English until the end of next year. This
is due to the end of year statutory tests being based on this
curriculum.Many areas we have taught before in KS1 are not now
statutory.One of the biggest changes is that there are no levels
within the new curriculum. The assessment aspect of the curriculum
has been under consultation and will not be in place until
September 2015. Until these changes have been confirmed, we will
continue to assess against the previous national curriculum
levels.
At Tavistock we are excited as it is an opportunity to develop
our own curriculum for our own children. The curriculum is
statutory with a heavy emphasis on English and Maths however it
does not tell us what to teach explicitly.Our aim is to create a
curriculum for our school that is based on the new National
Curriculum while at the same time incorporates our core values and
beliefs. Last term Year 1 and Year 2 worked on a whole school topic
based on buildings. Until now the year groups had worked
separately. The topic was very successful and we have decided we
would like to work like this in future for the benefit of all
children. Our new curriculum is going to be a rolling programme
across year 1 and Year 2.
