At Calverton Primary School we promote a broad and balanced curriculum. We promote consistently high standards where children have no limits to their capabilities.

We strive to provide all our children with high quality learning experiences that lead to consistently high levels of achievement.

Continued and sustained improvement is dependent upon improving the quality of classroom-focused teaching and learning taking place daily.

Our curriculum equips children with the knowledge to succeed in life.

By adopting a whole school approach to teaching and learning we aim to:

• Provide work of the highest quality across the school;
• Enable all teachers to teach as effectively as possible;
• Enable all children to learn as effectively as possible, without overloading their working memory;
• Make links in learning between subjects and year groups to ensure that learning is embedded into the long term memory and create schema that can be built on in future learning
• Give children the skills they require to become successful lifelong learners;
• Provide an inclusive education for all children;
• Learn from each other, through the adoption of a collaborative approach to teaching and learning, where outstanding practice is shared.

We believe high quality learning is achieved when pupils are:

• Enthusiastic, attentive, responsive and on task;
• Aware of classroom and school rules and abide by them;
• Talking confidently and ask appropriate questions;
• Confident in asking for help and support;
• Aware of their achievements and what they need to do in order to improve;
• Producing good quality work;
• Knowledgeable about their learning;
• Independent learners who are motivated to stay on task;
• Confident in helping others to learn.
