Our Curriculum
Underpinned by our whole school values, our rich, broad and balanced curriculum is holistic in nature - we aim to enthuse children about learning and support them in developing the skills, attitudes and knowledge which will enable them to make excellent progress, both academically and socially & emotionally, and which will enable them to be resilient, independent learners, prepared for future learning and life.

Our curriculum works on a two year rolling cycle (Year A and Year B). This means that two of our classes will be studying the same topic at any one time. The advantages of this are that, in our one-form entry school, teachers are able to plan lessons together. Collaborating together allows staff to plan these lessons with a more reflective approach, and share trips between paired year groups. We also find it allows children to consolidate their learning by discussing it with peers outside of their own class.

Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised is a complete systematic synthetic phonics programme (SSP) which is used at Meridian.
