The Curriculum

The Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum

This Curriculum runs from birth to the end of a child's Reception year and consists of six areas of learning:
• Personal, Social and Emotional Development
• Communication, Language and Literacy
• Mathematical Development
• Knowledge and Understanding of the World
• Physical Development
• Creative Development
Every Child is valued for their uniqueness and seen to be an individual. Our primary aim is to collaborate with parents in supporting each child to develop their skills and abilities at this early stage of School. We create a blend of learning opportunities through open-ended play, together with adult–initiated activities.

The Primary Curriculum

Every child at Uley Primary follows a curriculum that has been carefully devised to develop knowledge and understanding in each subject, complemented with the positive attitudes that contribute to lifelong learning. The curriculum is composed of the 'core' subjects; English, Mathematics and Science and the 'foundation' subjects; Religious Education, Information and Communications Technology (ICT), Geography, History, Music, Design and Technology, Art and Design, Personal Social Health and Citizenship Education (PSHCE) and Physical Education. French is our selected Modern Foreign Language and children begin to learn this from Year 3 onwards. Some subjects may be taught discretely, however the Uley Staff Team want the children's learning to be exciting, relevant and purposeful and consequently subjects may sometimes be delivered through a termly topic or theme.

The major goal in the delivery of the curriculum at Uley Primary is the development of successful learners. We support the emotional development of each child by providing a safe and nurturing environment which complements the powerful learning habits displayed by all our pupils. We recognise our children's preferred learning styles and personalise the learning opportunities so that each child leaves our School with the confidence and audacity to take on new challenges as well as the creativity and discipline required to be an effective life-long learner.
