At St. Michael’s school we want our children to follow a broad and exciting curriculum that has knowledge, skills and vocabulary at the heart of their learning. We ensure that they have ample opportunities to embed fundamental skills and express knowledge in a variety of interesting ways. We ensure that our curriculum allows them to delve deeper into their learning, building on skills and knowledge progressively each year. We make our learning interactive and practical wherever possible. For example, the children love carrying out science experiments, using the glockenspiels, cooking delicious food and using the Chromebooks to code and program. We make the most of our rural location and love to take the children outside to enhance their learning in lessons such as science and geography where they may search for plants or minibeast and engage in some map reading.

Our teachers are skilled at delivering well-paced, high quality lessons with excellent subject knowledge at the very heart. We have a consistent, research-based approach to delivering lessons across the school that ensures the children engage in their lessons in a meaningful way and crucially, remember what they have been taught over time. Learning tasks are adapted where necessary to allow all children, regardless of ability, to be successful and make progress. Reading is a key priority in our school; support and interventions are in place to ensure every pupil leaves us a fluent and avid reader.
