Ivy Bank Curriculum
Ivy Bank Primary School follows the National Curriculum for Key Stages One and Two and the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum for the children in reception and nursery. We aim to develop a modern curriculum that inspires and challenges all learners and prepares then for the future. Maths and English are taught every day and build on what the children already know where the curriculum is enhanced through memorable experiences which include: visits, visitors, trips and special events throughout the year. We place a strong emphasis on English and Mathematics, alongside the development of thinking skills (metacognition). This ensures pupils acquire the essential knowledge, understanding, and skills needed to become confident, independent learners. Through active learning, pupils are encouraged to take ownership of their progress, develop effective self-regulation strategies, and adopt lifelong learning habits. These foundations help them grow into resilient, adaptable individuals prepared for future challenges.
