Our Curriculum

This section of our website is focused on our Curriculum and provides an overview of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Framework and the Curriculum offer for children in Years 1 to 6. There are also sections on Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural (SMSC) Development, Personal, Social and Health Education and Citizenship and how we promote British Values.

Ofsted’s working definition of the curriculum:

“The curriculum is a framework for setting out the aims of a programme of education, including the knowledge and skills to be gained at each stage (intent); for translating that framework over time into a structure and narrative, within an institutional context (implementation) and for evaluating what knowledge and skills pupils have gained against expectations (impact/achievement).”

Our Curriculum Overview

In line with statutory requirements, the new Curriculum was launched in September 2014, coinciding with the introduction of the new National Curriculum in England.  Below, you’ll find a overview of the curricular areas we teach in each class.  If you’d like to learn a little more about our curriculum and how it’s organised, then please do let us know. We’ll be delighted to talk you through it.

VotesforSchools

Ramshaw Primary School have subscribed to VotesforSchools.  VotesforSchools offers topical issues for pupils to discuss and debate. British values are lived and experienced during the debate and through the vote process. It also supports SMSC, PSHE and Citizenship. VotesforSchools supports Ofsted and Independent School Inspectorate.

You can find out more on our website about how VotesforSchools will inspire our pupils to have a voice in our school.
