Our
curriculum has an emphasis on the core subjects of English, Maths,
Science and IC (Information & Communicational Technology). In
addition we teach Religious Education, Art, Physical Education, Design
& Technology, History, Geography, Music, Personal/Social/ Health
Education, and Citizenship. We have also introduced the teaching of
modern foreign language/s. English work
incorporates reading, writing, discussing, listening and handwriting.
Each class plans for a daily Literacy and Numeracy session. Mathematics
covers the knowledge and application of number, shape and space,
algebra and data handling. Science involves the knowledge,
understanding and investigation of physical processes, materials and
their properties and life processes. Our
children are taught and encouraged to use a wide range of media, tools
and apparatus. Computers are used throughout the school and integrated
across the curriculum to support and extend children’s learning from
Nursery to year 6. We have classroom based computers with interactive
whiteboards, a module laptop suite, a computer network suite and internet access throughout the school. Cuckoo
Hall has strong commitment towards offering additional curriculum
opportunities as part of an extended school day. We offer a very wide
range of lunchtime and after school clubs that are extended and
developed continuously. Information on our clubs is available from the
school office. All Curriculum Policies can be viewed in the school office.
Cuckoo Hall provides a broad and balanced curriculum within the guidelines of DfES requirements.
