Implementation
Academic
The Cheveley curriculum is based on the National curriculum; it is progressive in both knowledge and skills. The subject plans are regularly evaluated and adapted if necessary to meet the changing needs of the school cohorts. Formative assessment is used effectively to identify starting points and gaps in knowledge and understanding. Formative and summative assessments are used to support attainment and progress judgements. The school’s performance is compared to national outcomes (EYFS, Phonic check, KS1 SATs, Yr 4Multiplication Check, KS2 SATs)
Parents are informed of their child’s progress and attainment through termly Parent’s evenings and in a written end of year report.
The curriculum is differentiated to enable the inclusion of all children, including those with SEND.
Experienced subject leaders have good pedagogical knowledge, understand the curriculum progression, are aspirational and analytical and are passionate about their subject. This expertise is disseminated to all staff to support the highest standards in teaching and learning. CPD for staff is given a high priority. Governors challenge and monitor quality of education.
Christian Life
Implemented through church visits, visits from our local vicar, classroom prayer spaces, Christian symbols prominent around school including the school vision and values, worship including prayer and reflection, music and bible stories, community involvement in worship and facilitating a child led worship group (Worship Council).
To guide our RE teaching, we follow ‘Understanding Christianity’ as the framework to teach RE. We also teach about other faiths and traditions including Hinduism, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism and Humanism.
Collective worship happens daily in school and each half term at St Mary’s church. This is a time when our school comes together to celebrate our spirituality. Our worship is always Christian in nature, but may reference other faiths and beliefs. We work hard to develop our charitable involvement. Our Year 6 children are following the Young Leader programme leading projects to impact at home, the school and the community. Weekly Godly Play and Quiet Club sessions offer opportunities for children to Weekly Godly Play and Quiet Club sessions offer opportunities for children to explore and reflect on their own spirituality.
