At Temple Learning Academy we deliver the National Curriculum but have enhanced our provision to allow for extra opportunities for our learners to bring about our ‘Ambition for Change’ agenda. The National Curriculum provides the programme of study for each subject area and the attainment targets appropriate to children’s development. The Academy decides the context for children’s learning and within this context children learn to devise questions and design learning experiences to answer their questions. In this way children ‘own’ their learning and are therefore more enthused and motivated to learn demonstrating the 5 key elements of lifelong learning we like to call the 5 R’s. 1. Reflectiveness (Learning from experience) 2. Resourcefulness (Flexibility, imagination & risk taking) 3. Resilience (Positive attitude and target setting) 4. Responsibility (Looking after yourself and others) 5. Reasoning (Making careful decisions) Temple Learning Academy Primary Curriculum Map KS1 All children will have access to the Read, Write Inc Across all year groups scientific knowledge and skills are synthetic phonic programme from Reception until such COMMUNICATION learned by working scientifically. time as they are competent with their ‘phonic bank’ and Biology reading at a good standard.
