Curriculum
Teaching your children
The National Curriculum, which was revised in 2014, requires that children should be taught:-
- Three core subjects – English, Maths and Science;
- Seven foundation subjects – geography, history, technology, art, music, information technology and physical education. Religious education must also be taught to all children unless exempted.
- Personal, social and Health Education and citizenship is taught from Reception to Year 6.
- French will also be taught at Key Stage 2.
Our Full details of the National Curriculum documentation can be obtained from the DfE website.
The new National Curriculum has set out clear expectations for what children should achieve by the end of each key stage and, for English, Maths and Science, has provided guidance as to when in each phase this content should be covered. These expectations have been developed into a set of statements for each subject and each year group. These statements are used by teachers to help define and guide next steps in learning.
Broomfield Primary School uses NCETM to plan maths.

The materials within Literacy Tree English help teachers to plan and deliver English teaching and learning in an engaging way, placing English and literature at the heart of the curriculum.

As a Rights Respecting School, learning about, and through, children’s rights is an integral part of our curriculum. Teachers are encouraged to link teaching and learning to children’s rights wherever they feel it would be meaningful and advantageous.
We continually review our curriculum to so that it is meeting the needs of our learners. You can view a copy of the curriculum for each year group by clicking on the relevant year group tabs below.
