D&T Curriculum Statement Intent Our intent is to provide our children with an engaging, exciting and empowering curriculum that allows them to develop as confident responsible citizens equipped with the skills that will allow them to be successful in our ever-changing world, both in the present and the future. We believe that childhood should be a happy, investigative and enquiring time in our lives. We constantly provide enrichment opportunities (memorable experiences) to engage learners and develop their cultural capital which has been recognised as essential if children are to succeed. We believe that our children should not only reach their best academically, but also develop a thirst for knowledge, foster a love of learning and leave our school with exceptional independent learning skills. We are fully committed to developing each child's unique potential within a secure and caring environment. We use our Captain Webb Values to promote positive attitudes to learning: Listen Encourage Achieve Respect Nurture At Captain Webb, we want children to be inspired and enthused by the idea of designing, creating and making. Our Design and Technology curriculum allows children to exercise their creativity and become critical thinkers. Throughout their time at Captain Webb, children make meaningful cross-curricular links and apply the knowledge and skills they learn in other subjects to produce meaningful products. Our practical, design-centred learning teaches children to take risks and become resourceful, innovative and enterprising individuals. Through our Design and Technology curriculum, we provide pupils with key knowledge, which enable them to develop the skills required to become future builders, designers and engineers of the world. Implementation Our pupils leave Captain Webb with all of the knowledge and skills required to be innovative risk-takers. Our curriculum has been thoughtfully planned to ensure that the knowledge children have is built upon within every Design and Technology unit. Knowledge within our Design and Technology curriculum is split into several stands, including: Food, Cooking and Nutrition, Structure, Textiles, Mechanisms (KS1) and Mechanical & Electronic Systems (KS2). These are mapped out across year groups to ensure progression. Our planning ensures we teach the knowledge, understanding and skills needed to engage in the exciting process of designing and making. Children are required to plan and create products that consider function and purpose, and which are also relevant to real-life scenarios. Children look at existing designs to analyse and assess their effectiveness and then they consider ways of redesigning and reconstructing it to improve its overall success. At Captain Webb, we encourage children to use their imagination to design and make products that solve real and relevant problems within a variety of contexts. Our children are required to consider others’ wants and needs by following a design brief. Design and Technology at Captain Webb is often taught as a block, or sometimes timetabled as a whole day, so that children’s learning is focused throughout each unit of work. At the beginning of each topic, initial assessments are completed to determine prior knowledge and ensure that progression is consistent. Evaluation is a key aspect of the Design and Technology process and children are given the opportunity to assess and ‘tinker’ their designs, continually looking to improve their work. Impact As well as monitoring of attainment, the impact of effective Design and Technology teaching is assessed through the pupil’s ability to evaluate, design, make and improve their own work. The impact of Design and Technology is also evident within the opportunities we provide to develop cultural capital. We do this across the curriculum and throughout the school by: Working with local companies to promote future career choices Cooking for a purpose so children learn to be passionate about working with, preparing and tasting food Implementing a high standard of hygiene learning when working with food Using tools to help children manage risks Visiting local restaurant’s to help children embrace cultural influences on the food we cook and the diversity of the ingredients available for us to cook with Displaying products that children have made so they can experience the suitability first hand (bird houses in forest schools) Designing and creating for a purpose when making a blanket for a local care home Studying famous engineering experts through STEM and communicating ideas and developing prototypes using CAD Involving children in enterprise activities so children can begin to make links between cost of produce and materials, and the profit that can be made Design and Technology Policy 2022.23 D&T Skills and Knowledge Progression Plans 2021.22

Art Curriculum Statement Intent Our intent is to provide our children with an engaging, exciting and empowering curriculum that allows them to develop as confident responsible citizens equipped with the skills that will allow them to be successful in our ever-changing world, both in the present and the future. We believe that childhood should be a happy, investigative and enquiring time in our lives. We constantly provide enrichment opportunities (memorable experiences) to engage learners and develop their cultural capital which has been recognised as essential if children are to succeed. We believe that our children should not only reach their best academically, but also develop a thirst for knowledge, foster a love of learning and leave our school with exceptional independent learning skills. We are fully committed to developing each child's unique potential within a secure and caring environment. We use our Captain Webb Values to promote positive attitudes to learning: Listen Encourage Achieve Respect Nurture Our school believes that art is a vital part in children’s education as it can give children the opportunities to express their individual interests, thoughts and ideas. A high-quality art education – along with sequential and progressive lessons - will help to engage, excite and empower our children as well as equipping them with the knowledge and skills to experiment and create their own artwork and crafts. From this children are able to make links with their learning to produce amazing art! As pupils progress throughout our school, they will have a strong understanding of the key art elements (line, tone, texture, colour, pattern, shape, 3D forms), to be able to effectively plan and create pieces of art and evaluate it. Children will also recognise how art has changed throughout the years as they are exposed to many artists and art movements. The art curriculum will develop children’s critical abilities, as well as an understanding of their own and others’ cultural heritages through the study of a diverse range of artists. An example of this is in Year 3, children take inspiration from cubism artist Paul Klee and African American artist Alma Thomas. Finally in Year 4, who look at sculpture and the work of Alberto Giacometti, also study the works of Richard Hunt who is an African American sculptor. In Year 6, children study the Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. All children will be exposed to artists from many cultural heritages from out ‘Art in the Moment’ displays. Implementation The teaching of art at Captain Webb Primary School is based on the National Curriculum and is also linked to class topics to ensure a well-structured approach. Knowledge and Skills that the children will develop, are effectively mapped out across each year group and are progressive throughout the school. Children are given the knowledge to help them understand the context of the artwork as well as the artist they are learning about. With this knowledge and the skills that follow they are able to take inspiration and produce individual pieces of artwork on their own Children are also given the chance to develop their artistic skills by being given opportunities to practise and master them. Every year group at Captain Webb Primary School follows the same art journey: Art Gallery – Looking at many pieces of art from a focus artist Exploration of other artists Introduction to new knowledge or skill (experimentation) Evaluation of mediums or methods Creating a plan Creating their final piece Evaluating Acting upon evaluation Comparing Artists (KS2 Only) Our high-quality art curriculum is supported by a wide variety of art resources and mediums. These are used to help children experiment and develop confidence as they progress through the school. Staff at Captain Webb Primary have also received high quality CPD training on the effective use of sketchbooks. This ensures all children at Captain Webb can use sketchbook effectively. Impact The structure of the art curriculum ensures that children are able to develop their knowledge and understanding of the work of artists, craftspeople and designers from a range of times and cultures and apply this knowledge to their own work. Our curriculum is well thought out and is planned to demonstrate progression. Children learn to understand the key principles of art: line, tone, texture, shape, form, space, pattern, colour, contrast, proportion and perspective. Children have the chance to refine their skills as they progress through year groups. This also supports children having age related expectations at the end of their year. Art is celebrated around the school with artwork being displayed throughout the school e.g. work displayed in classes, sculptures being displayed around the school. We measure the impact of our curriculum through the following methods: Images of the children’s practical learning. Asking the pupils about their learning (pupil voice). Moderation staff meetings where pupil’s books are scrutinised and there is the opportunity for a dialogue between teachers to understand their class’s work. Verbal feedback of work throughout the course of the lessons.

Reading Curriculum Statement Reading Curriculum Statement Intent At Captain Webb, we value reading as a key life skill and are dedicated to enabling our pupils to become lifelong readers. We believe that the teaching of reading is integral to a child’s understanding and appreciation of the world around them. We aim to provide children with experiences that will lead to rich language development so that at the end of their primary education with us, they are empowered with a breadth of vocabulary that they can build on in their future prospects. ​ Our reading curriculum strives to foster a love for reading and we believe that that all children should experience an abundance of quality, engaging texts across the curriculum. ​ We want reading to be the golden thread running through a child’s journey at Captain Webb. When they leave us, we want pupils to possess the reading skills and love of literature which will help them to enjoy and access any aspects of learning they encounter in the future ​ Implementation ​ Through the delivery of our reading curriculum we ensure a consistent and robust teaching and learning of early reading and phonics in FS and KS1, so that pupils are able to read with increased speed and fluency and access the wider curriculum. We follow the Read, Write Inc Phonics programme; a systematic, synthetic phonics scheme that is validated by the Department for Education. For more information, please follow this link. Phonics Curriculum Once children have graduated from the RWI scheme, and are able to decode accurately and speedily, reading a lot is the principal way they develop as readers. Putting in the ‘reading miles’ allows pupils to practise their reading, building experience with increasingly complex texts, encountering new knowledge, gaining new language, including vocabulary, and developing their fluency. Over the course of year 2 and into key stage 2, the focus of the teaching of reading therefore shifts from decoding towards ensuring pupils get this print experience and support with spoken language, both through teacher-led whole class reading sessions and independent reading. Children explore a broad range of challenging texts including fiction, non-fiction and poetry by having purposeful and in-depth discussions with the teacher and their peers to enable them to access the vocabulary, themes and content. Please see the whole class reading long term overview for your year group. ​ Please also seethe whole school Knowledge and Skills Grids for Reading. Whole Class Reading Reading Knowledge and Skills 23-24 Pupils who need extra support. Keeping up from the start. To ensure identified pupils keep up, we provide extra practice, in either small groups or one-to-one tuition. The extra practice is delivered by trained phonics and reading staff. Please refer to the Phonics curriculum link to find out more information about Read Write Inc Phonics Fast Track Tutoring programme. Some pupils who have graduated from the RWI Phonics may decode accurately but struggle with reading fluency. To help develop this, pupils who are identified as needing extra support will receive additional sessions with a well-trained member of staff. Story Time All pupils receive daily story time sessions with their teacher. The pupils listen to a wide range of stories that have all been carefully selected and chosen for their year groups. To find out more about the rationale behind our reading curriculum and the exciting texts your child will be reading, please click on the whole school reading spine below. Whole School Reading Spine Reading for Pleasure Embedding a school culture that values and supports reading for pleasure is extremely important to us. To enable this, we set aside time for pupils to enjoy and read books independently, discuss texts they are reading and share recommendations. The love2read session is timetabled for all classes once a week and also sets time for pupils to visit our newly refurbished school library. The children can enjoy the freedom of enjoying texts in a tranquil, child centered environment. All classrooms have attractive book corners where the children have access to 100 quality books, both fiction, non-fiction and poetry books to help embed their love of books, stories and reading. Reading across the curriculum Pupils are also expected to read in other subjects to access new information and build their subject knowledge. This reading will also contribute to reading miles and fluency. All subject areas have a recommended text list for all year groups attached to their subject curriculum map. Poetry and Rhymes Through sharing, reading, writing and performing rhymes and poems, we aim to build children’s emotional connection to language and the world around us. Poems are used throughout our curriculum to develop vocabulary, fluency and prosody, imagination and empathy. We also encourage children to review poetry – to form opinions about their own likes and dislikes and to understand and explain their preferences and respect the thoughts and feelings of others. We are committed as a school to developing a love of reading and to reading aloud each day. Alongside our class reading texts, we have four class poetry books to be shared throughout the year. Of course, teachers can add to the core books to further develop children’s exposure and enjoyment of poetry. We have identified a core set of poems for each year group. Each year group will learn by heart poems to be performed for assembly or to be shared with parents or visitors. Children will also be encouraged to revisit poems previously learnt. Each year group will also study a varied selection of poems during guided reading lessons, where vocabulary and meaning can be explored and explained, together with the development of children’s wider reading skills. Poetry also forms part of our writing curriculum and each year group has different forms of poetry to explore and create. This allows children the opportunity to learn more about particular structures of poetry and allows them to write their own poems using a wide range of poetic devices. Children are encouraged to perform their own poetry alongside the poems learnt by their year group. We also seek opportunities throughout the year for children to watch or hear poets reciting and discussing their own work. ​ Please see our Poetry Curriculum Poetry Curriculum How do we enrich the curriculum? Book recommendation boards are displayed throughout school to inform pupils are new and popular texts across the age ranges. The children are given the opportunity to loan these books from Mrs Passey and write reviews on these books for our school newsletter. At Captain Webb, we also have a range of opportunities within the academic year to further enhance reading opportunities for our children. Regular trips to the local library, engaging with national reading events including World Book Day, Roald Dahl Day and National Poetry day. Each year we invite external theatre companies into school to deliver whole school productions and drama workshops for our pupils, recent examples of which are Christmas Carol and Jack and the Beanstalk. We have also had Dance workshops based on 'Bringing Books to Life'. Year 3 story focus was Charlie and the chocolate factory, Year 4 focus was Alice in Wonderland and Year 5 focus was The Jungle Book. How can you help your child? EYFS and KS1 To support their reading journey your child will bring different sorts of books home from school. When your child is in the early stages of learning to read you can help by encouraging them to sound out the letters in words and then to ‘blend’ the sounds together to make a whole word. Please refer to the Phonics Curriculum page on the school website for further information. Sometimes your child might bring home a picture book that they know well, encourage your child to tell you the story out loud; ask them questions about things that happen or what they think about some of the characters in the story. We assess the children’s’ progress regularly and send home books that are matched to their ability. KS2 All pupils in KS2 will bring home a copy of their guided reading text to read at home. The class teacher will provide information in regards to homework expectations for reading the guided reading text. E.g. We would like you to read chapters 1 – 3 tonight. We also encourage all pupils to loan books from our school library to enjoy at home. The school’s Homework Policy states that all children are expected to read at home every day. This is for a maximum of 10 minutes. Reading regularly at home helps to develop children’s reading skills. Making the time to talk to your children about the books they choose and listening to them reading aloud regularly can make all the difference. Children need to understand why we read. They need to experience the range of feelings that a book can create or the power that can be gained from accessing information. Reading must not only be confined to stories. Many children love reading comics, magazines, newspapers, information books and poetry. All of these reading activities should be encouraged. Children in Key Stage 2 will all be at very different stages of development, but even for the most fluent readers there is a need for parental support. Most parents or carers are able to create quality time to share a book individually with one child. This is the time when children can develop a much deeper understanding of the books that they are reading. Rather than reading at home being ‘reading practice’, it should extend and enrich the reading experiences of school. One of the most powerful ways in which parents can do this is to show real enthusiasm themselves. Your sense of excitement about books and stories, your anticipation about what will happen next in a story and a discussion about your own likes and dislikes, will greatly influence your child. Teachers will check the Home School Reading Record daily and record for our end of term reading rewards including books, book vouchers or an author visit . Impact By the time children leave Captain Webb, they are competent readers who can recommend books to their peers, have a thirst for reading a range of genres including poetry, and participate in discussions about books, including evaluating an author’s use of language and the impact this can have on the reader. They can also read books to enhance their knowledge and understanding of all subjects on the curriculum, and communicate their research to a wider audience. ‘I go to Phonics every day to learn my sounds. I can now read words and I’ve just moved to Yellow phonics books.’ – Year 1 pupil. ‘I’ve read many books since I’ve been at Captain Webb. Some of my favourite texts are Stig of the Dump by Clive King, Harry Potter by JK Rowling and Street Child by Berlie Doherty.’ –Year 6 pupil. ‘This year, I’ve enjoyed reading lots of different non-fiction texts. I’m currently reading a non-fiction text on the heart and circulatory system which has helped me answer questions in Science.’ Year 5 pupil. Attainment in reading is measured using statutory assessments such as the end of EYFS and Key Stage 2 and following the outcomes in the Year 1 Phonics Screening check. Additionally, we track our own reading attainment through the use of RWI half termly and screening assessments, SALFORD Reading Assessments and ongoing teacher assessment. Assessment data shows that.. 82% of children passed the Year 1 Phonics Screening check in 2023. 75% reached ARE at KS1 with 27% reaching greater depth. 78% reached ARE at KS1 with 18% reaching greater depth. The impact of this implementation was also noted in our 2019 OFSTED: The teaching of reading is done very well. Staff are trained in how to teach phonics and daily routines and systems make sure everyone gets what they need. Whether reading in class or at home, staff check that pupils have books they understand. If any pupil needs a helping hand, adults find extra time straight away and this stops them from falling behind. As pupils’ confidence grows, teachers introduce them to new books and authors. Most days, teachers read to the class during ‘page-turner time’. They encourage pupils to talk about books and share their views.

Spelling Curriculum Statement Spelling at Captain Webb ​ Learning to spell has strong links with reading and writing. In reading, the children’s knowledge of the relationship between letters and sounds sets the foundations for them as spellers. Spelling is also a significant aspect of the writing element within the curriculum. If we want children to become confident writers, a strong understanding of spelling and spelling patterns is crucial. As stated in the National Curriculum (2014), it states that ‘Writing down ideas fluently depends on effective transcription: that is, on spelling quickly and accurately through knowing the relationship between sounds and letters (phonics) and understanding the morphology (word structure) and orthography (spelling structure) of words.’ At Captain Webb, we have adopted a whole-school approach to spelling that builds as the children move through the school. Read Write Inc Spelling In years Reception and Year 1 spelling is taught through RWI Phonics. The children in years 2 to 6 have daily spelling sessions which follow the Read Write Inc spelling programme. This programme follows on from the Read Write Inc. Phonics programme with the aim of getting every child to spell effortlessly. It is a standalone programme that has been designed to meet the requirements of the National Curriculum. . There is a daily teacher led spelling session of around 15–20 minutes. Children are assessed during the programme. There are Practice Tests which assess children’s spelling progress using the same format as the statutory assessments in England. This allows us to track individual children’s progress and identify units, words or concepts which we will need to re-teach. How does this programme support your child in learning to spell? ​ RWInc Spelling is an interactive programme which teaches spellings in a fun and engaging way. Each unit is introduced with a short video. It helps children to learn spellings with common patterns and uses rules in order to help them recall spellings as well as teaching exceptions to these rules. A short video to show RWI Spellings in practice. https://youtu.be/CuLGvjOTk6A ​ Daily Sessions consist of: Speed spell which tests children’s knowledge of words from previous units; Spelling Zone with an online introduction to the unit and rules and spelling patterns to be taught that week Dots and Dashes where children count phonemes and the recorded graphemes Rapid Recap of prior learning Word changes –by adding beginnings or endings to words (prefixes and suffixes) Words to Log and learn which helps children to log and learn new or unfamiliar words focusing on spelling patterns and rules. Rules are reviewed and practised through each unit until children can apply the rules in their own writing. Team teach and Four-in-a-row which help children assess their own progress; Jumping red/orange words which tests children’s knowledge of red and orange words (words from the word lists in the National Curriculum in England many of which are not able to be spelt by using sounds- these are often called the common exception , tricky words or High Frequency words). Challenge dictation sentences are available to challenge children to use new spellings. ​ Below, you will find the words banks for each unit of the spelling programme so you can print these and look at them at home with your child. Your child's class teacher will be able to let you know which spelling list they are currently working on at school. ​ Year 2 - Spelling Word Banks Read More Year 3 - Spelling Word Banks Read More Read More Year 4 - Spelling Word Banks Read More Year 5 - Spelling Word Banks Read More Year 6 - Spelling Word Banks Handy Tips for Supporting Your Child with Spelling ​ Practise spelling common exception words regularly. (Known as Red and Orange words) Revisit spellings from previous weeks. Ask your child to explain the rule for the week and get them to give you example words so that you can build up a word bank that can be referred to frequently. Make a note of the high frequency words which you notice your child is spelling wrong (remember that these are quite often RED WORDS and that you ‘Can’t fred a red!’) Play homophone games where you give them a word like right/write and they write you both spellings and show you on the sounds chart which graphemes they would choose to spell them right! Make sure they know which one is which! Play hold a sentence dictation where you give the child a short sentence with one of their spellings in which will help them to understand the meaning of the word and spell and punctuate correctly. Supporting Your Child’s Spelling at Home ​ To help you to support your children at home with their spellings on a weekly basis, the children will be given 6-8 spellings from the unit they are currently on which will follow a set pattern. They will be tested on these at the end of the week. In addition to these your child will also be given 6 red or orange words to learn from the National Curriculum word lists which are words the children are expected to know for their age range.

Geography Curriculum Statement Intent Our intent is to provide our children with an engaging, exciting and empowering curriculum that allows them to develop as confident responsible citizens equipped with the skills that will allow them to be successful in our ever-changing world, both in the present and the future. We believe that childhood should be a happy, investigative and enquiring time in our lives. We constantly provide enrichment opportunities (memorable experiences) to engage learners and develop their cultural capital which has been recognised as essential if children are to succeed. We believe that our children should not only reach their best academically, but also develop a thirst for knowledge, foster a love of learning and leave our school with exceptional independent learning skills. We are fully committed to developing each child's unique potential within a secure and caring environment. We use our Captain Webb Values to promote positive attitudes to learning: Listen Encourage Achieve Respect Nurture Within geography, we believe that children should develop an understanding, and love of, the world around them. Our geography curriculum is designed to encourage children to ask and enquire about the natural and the human world. Throughout their time at Captain Webb, children are given opportunities to explore the world around them through memorable experience visits and fieldwork. These experiences, along with lessons within school, ignite an enthusiasm to learn. Geography is embedded in the processes and people around us that form our environment. At Captain Webb, we want our pupils to develop a deep understanding of the natural and human environments, alongside an understanding of the physical and human processes which form these. By providing pupils with the key knowledge, we enable them to develop the skills required to understand and navigate our world. Implementation Our pupils leave Captain Webb with all of the knowledge and skills required to be competent and enthusiastic geographers. Our curriculum has been rigorously planned to ensure that the knowledge children have is built upon not only each year, but each term and within every geography lesson. Knowledge within our geography curriculum is split into locational, place, human and physical. These are mapped out across the year groups to ensure progression. From this knowledge, children can also develop the key skills in each strand of the geography curriculum. These skills are applied during fieldwork both on site and during memorable experience visits. Children carry out fieldwork in every year at Captain Webb. Not only does this develop their geographical skills, but also their understanding of the world around them. Based on their fieldwork, children produce maps which also develops their sense of the key concepts of place, space and environment. Geography at Captain Webb is taught through blocks which supports children to develop mastery of the subject. Children working at greater depth are able to revisit their learning and delve deeper into the topic. At the beginning of each topic, initial assessments are completed to determine prior knowledge and ensure that progression is consistent. Children also ask 6 ‘big questions’ about their topic to inform teachers’ planning and guarantee that learning is driven by children’s interests. This further develops their enthusiasm for the topic. ​ Impact As well as monitoring of attainment, the impact of effective geography teaching is clear in the children’s ability to apply their knowledge to fieldwork in each year group. The impact of geography is also evident within the opportunities we provide to develop cultural capital. We do this across the curriculum and throughout the school by: Investing in digital mapping technology to help children develop a sense of place and scale. Incorporating memorable experiences into every topic, which allow exploration of people and landscapes Fieldwork in the local area Topics regarding current global issues, such as climate change and plastic in the oceans A residential visit to France, enabling pupils to experience differing cultures Geography Policy 2022.23 Geography Skills and Knowledge Progression Plans 2021.22

At Captain Webb we provide an engaging curriculum that maximises opportunities for meaningful cross-curricular links and learning experiences, as well as promoting the unique child by offering extended periods of play and sustained thinking. We follow the children’s interests and ideas to foster a lifelong love of learning both in and outside of school. Our curriculum has been designed to enable children to succeed through cooperative and collaborative learning. As such, there is a strong emphasis on the Prime Areas of learning; Communication and Language, Physical Development and Personal, Social and Emotional Development. This is of particular importance in our nursery rooms which are skilfully planned for and feed into the Specific areas; Literacy Maths Understanding of the World Expressive Arts and Design ​ At Captain Webb we believe that early language skills and extending vocabulary should be at the core of our curriculum and is embedded into our in-door and out-door learning environment. We have devised specific vocabulary for each of our learning areas and incorporate these into our planning. We understand that early language skills is one of the key components to becoming a successful, confident learner. Our Early Years setting is equipped with a wide range of resources across a variety of learning zones that supports the seven areas of the EYFS curriculum. These are developed and planned for by staff to provide meaningful experiences and create learning opportunities for pupils across an engaging and enhanced environment both inside and out. Adults work along side children during their play and adult focused activities, modelling skills, learning strategies, encouraging independence and providing opportunities to embed and deepen their understanding. Alongside our enabling environment we ensure that the children learn through a carful balance of child and adult lead activities. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​​​​​​​​​ My Key Person We Know that good teaching and learning begins with positive relationships. Relationships fulfil our most fundamental needs as humans - social connectedness . ​ A nurturing approach recognises that positive relationships are central to both learning and wellbeing, which is why all of our children are assigned to a 'key person'. The key person is a named practitioner who has responsibilities for a small group of children. ​ They are there to help the child feel safe and secure. the role is important for both child and parent and it is an approach set out in the EYFS. The key person will respond to children's needs and help them settle into a new environment . Communication is paramount between parent and key person, as these discussions hold key information about the child. ​ ​ ​​​​​​​​​​ Forest School Forest School is a specialised approach to outdoor learning that aims to develop confidence and self esteem through hands-on learning in woodland environments. All of our EYFS children access our forest school at least once per week, where the forest school leader/teacher have planned thoughtful activities which inter link their topics and themes within the classroom. Forest school is the perfect natural environment for children to build their self esteem, creativity and learn to manage their own risks whilst being supported by an adult. ​ ​ ​​​​​​​​​​ Memorable Experience To introduce our children to the half termly topic, all children will have a 'Memorable Experience'. This means the children will be taken out on a visit or we arrange for a work shop to come into school.

Schulbesuch ​ ​ ​ Ziele und Ziele Das Leitungsgremium der Captain Webb Primary legt großen Wert auf das Erreichen von Standards und ist der Ansicht, dass eine hervorragende Schülerbeteiligung und Pünktlichkeit unerlässlich sind. Damit Kinder ihr Potenzial entfalten können, müssen die Schülerinnen und Schüler eine hohe Lernmotivation sowie eine hohe Bereitschaft zum Schulbesuch aufweisen. Regelmäßiges, pünktliches Erscheinen wird gute Gewohnheiten etablieren, die sie ihr ganzes Leben lang unterstützen. Um dies zu erreichen, verpflichten sich die Direktoren und das Personal zur partnerschaftlichen Zusammenarbeit mit den Eltern, um sicherzustellen, dass die Schule eine Mindestanzahl von 96 % der Schulbesuche erreicht. ​ Die Regierung erwartet von uns: • Förderung einer guten Anwesenheit und Verringerung der Abwesenheit, einschließlich anhaltender Abwesenheit (weniger als 90%); • Sicherstellen, dass jeder Schüler Zugang zu einer Vollzeitausbildung hat, auf die er Anspruch hat; • Handeln Sie frühzeitig, um Fehlzeiten anzugehen. Die Captain Webb Primary School arbeitet mit Eltern und der lokalen Behörde zusammen, um den Schulbesuch zu verbessern. ​ Abwesenheit stört die Bildung des einzelnen Schülers und der ganzen Klasse. Ist Ihnen bekannt, dass Kinder, die nicht regelmäßig teilnehmen: ​ In Prüfungen nicht gut abschneiden Finde es schwierig, Freundschaften zu pflegen Sind eher in kriminelle Handlungen verwickelt Verpassen Sie Chancen in Weiterbildung und Berufswelt. ​ Wie schneidet Ihr Kind ab? ​ ​ ​ Abwesenheit kann nur vom Schulleiter innerhalb der Grenzen genehmigt werden, die in den Education (Pupil Registrations) (England) Regulations 2006 festgelegt sind. Schulleiter können keinen Urlaub während des Semesters genehmigen, es sei denn, die Umstände sind außergewöhnlich.

Our School Governing Body What do our school governors do? ​ Governors are volunteers who are responsible for overseeing the management side of a school: strategy, policy, budgeting and staffing. They enable our school to run as effectively as possible, working alongside senior leaders and supporting teachers to provide excellent education to children. Being a school governor is a commitment to attending governing body meetings which consider issues such as setting the school vision, mitigating financial risk and scrutinising educational outcomes. They are also involved in our school community, acting as critical friends to the headteacher and senior leaders. Governors bring a wide range of skills and expertise from their professional lives to the governing board and we benefit greatly from working with these skilled volunteers, for example some of our governors have experience of finance, safeguarding, school management and human resources. A governor with business know-how can transform the running of a school. ​ Core governor responsibilities Setting the strategic direction Governing bodies are the key strategic decision makers in every school. Along with the Head Teacher, it is the job of our governing body to set the school’s aims and objectives around how the school will develop and improve. They set the policies, formulate plans and agree targets to help our school achieve these objectives, as well as regularly reviewing their strategic framework in light of that progress. Creating robust accountability The governing body is there to support and challenge our school’s senior leadership team. They play a crucial role in holding our Head Teacher to account for securing the best possible outcomes for our pupils. By challenging key decisions and asking pertinent questions about the school’s performance data, our governors aim to guarantee high standards in education. Ensuring financial probity Governing bodies have a strategic role in the financial management of schools. Their key responsibilities include, setting financial priorities through the school development plan, 3 year financial plan and the annual budget. They also decide on how our school’s delegated budget should be spent in accordance with the school improvement plan and statutory curriculum requirement. ​ How does our Governing Body work? ​ Governing body meetings We hold full governing body meetings twice a term (we no longer have separate committees). We send out all the supporting documentation a week prior to these meeting to allow Governors to have time to read and familiarise themselves with the paperwork. It also gives them time to raise any questions they might have, and challenge the information provided. Whilst there are many important aspects of the role of a governor, the most important is the business that takes place at these meetings. School visits Our Governing body is responsible for monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of our school and its curriculum. School visits help our governors to understand more about the school and the reality of school life. Governor visits to classrooms are not a form of inspection but serve as a clear monitoring function on the implementation of the school’s strategic planning. Governor visits are encouraged. ​ Link Governors ​ The Headteacher, with the support of her leadership team, draft a school development plan (every September). This document examines all the areas in the school, which require additional focus, to ensure the best possible outcomes for all the children. The development plan is created from children's progress data, reviews by the School Improvement Partner, the Ofsted report, and general observance of the school in action. The Governors have the responsibility of ensuring this plan is effectively targeted, and that the school performs the actions that are needed. To help the full governing body with this duty each governor is assigned a role linked specifically to each area of the development plan, and it is this Link Governors duty to report back their observations and findings to the full governors.

Science Curriculum Statement Intent Our intent is to provide our children with an engaging, exciting, and empowering curriculum that allows them to develop as confident responsible citizens equipped with the skills that will allow them to be successful in our ever-changing world, both in the present and the future. We believe that childhood should be a happy, investigative, and enquiring time in our lives. We constantly provide enrichment opportunities (memorable experiences) to engage learners and develop their cultural capital which has been recognised as essential if children are to succeed. We believe that our children should not only reach their best academically, but also develop a thirst for knowledge, foster a love of learning and leave our school with exceptional independent learning skills. We are fully committed to developing each child's unique potential within a secure and caring environment. We use our Captain Webb Values to promote positive attitudes to learning: Listen Encourage Achieve Respect Nurture At Captain Webb, our intention is to provide a high-quality science education that provides children with the foundations they need to recognise the importance of science in every aspect of daily life. As one of the core subjects taught in primary schools, we give the teaching and learning of science the prominence and relevance it requires. Through science learning, our children have a greater awareness of the role of science in everyday life. Science at Captain Webb ignites pupils' curiosity and offers opportunities to develop their observation, questioning and reasoning skills whilst equipping them with the key knowledge and understanding of the world around them. We intend for our children to think independently and to be life-long learners who are enthused, curious and inquisitive, confident to ask ‘Big Questions’ and who are well prepared for their future in the ever-changing world. Implementation Our pupils leave Captain Webb with all the knowledge and skills required to be curious and confident scientists by embedding a curriculum that helps children foster a healthy curiosity about the world around them. Our curriculum has been planned to ensure that the knowledge children have is built upon not only each year, but each term and within every science lesson. We’ve found that this increases children’s enthusiasm for the topic whilst embedding procedural knowledge into their long-term memory. Knowledge within our science curriculum is taught through the specific disciplines of biology, chemistry, and physics. These are mapped out across the year groups to ensure progression. Our knowledge-based curriculum encourages practical exploration and investigation activities, which enable our children to think and behave like scientists. Children understand how science can be used to explain what is occurring, predict how things will behave, and analyse causes. Thus, our curriculum aims to enable pupils to develop enquiring minds with a range of investigative skills. Please see our science knowledge and skills grid, which shows end of year key knowledge and highlights progression through the scientific strands. Science Knowledge and Skills Grid 2022.23 Working scientifically plays an important role in our science planning as it means that children able to obtain key scientific knowledge through practical experiences like using scientific equipment, conducting experiments, and explaining ideas confidently. Below are our BIG science questions that children have the opportunity to explore and answer throughout the year. These show children the range of scientific enquiry methods we can use to investigate scientific phenomena’s. Scientific Enquiry Science at Captain Webb is taught through blocks which supports children to develop mastery of the subject. Children working at greater depth can revisit their learning and delve deeper into the topic. At the beginning of each topic, initial assessments are completed to determine prior knowledge and ensure that progression is consistent. Children also ask 6 ‘big questions’ about their topic to inform teachers’ planning and guarantee that learning is driven by children’s interests. This further develops their enthusiasm for the topic. Our science policy highlights coverage of science unit blocks in each year group, planning and assessment tools. Science Policy 22.23 Impact As well as monitoring of attainment, the impact of effective science teaching is clear in the children’s ability to apply their knowledge to scientific enquiries. The impact of science is also evident within the opportunities we provide to develop cultural capital. We do this across the curriculum and throughout the school by: Organising events such as Science Week or STEM Week, allowing pupils to apply their knowledge and skills to cross-curricular concepts or topics Working closely with local secondary schools, thus demonstrating a love of science work and an interest in further study and work in this field Working collaboratively and practically to investigate and experiment Having butterflies and chicks to assist with real-life learning about life cycles Igniting curiosity through our memorable experiences, including the Wonderdome and Dorothy Clive Gardens Exposing children to a variety of visits where they explore animals and their habitats, including Blue Planet Aquarium, Chester Zoo, and visits from the Exotic Zoo Visiting a theme park so pupils can experience forces in a real-life context Numerous visits to the local area to widen children’s understanding of the area around them
