Phoenix Primary School

[EduCativ]

We are very pleased to welcome you to Phoenix Primary School. At Phoenix Primary School, we want to create a learning environment that is exciting, challenging, safe, and happy. We want to unlock the potential of every child to help them to achieve both in their learning, and as they grow into young people. We pride ourselves on being a friendly, welcoming school.

Our classrooms are filled with books, resources, and creative displays to promote high-quality learning to support children in their lessons.

We recognize the importance of developing all the abilities of the children and offer many opportunities for them to take part in additional activities. We aim to support children through a broad and balanced curriculum that targets basic skills as well as the depth of knowledge and understanding across a wide range of themes and contexts. Lessons are planned to be interactive and engaging to promote children’s independent learning skills as well as working cohesively and collaboratively.

Our school strives hard to promote an ethos of community, mutual respect, pride, creativity, and ambition. This aims to develop open-minded, flexible, and resilient individuals with the skills and attitudes to be successful in modern Britain.

We recognize the potential of every individual to achieve excellence. We strive to positively address underachievement and have very high expectations. We work very hard to creatively remove barriers to achievement and raise self-esteem. We are determined to create a truly meaningful partnership with the whole school community.

Everyone works to provide a welcoming, calm, happy, and purposeful atmosphere. Consideration, encouragement of positive role models, respect for others, their property, and the environment are our priorities. We aim to deliver a broad, balanced and enriched curriculum in an optimum learning environment that is attractive, stimulating informative, and instills a sense of pride.

All our children will study the National Curriculum for both core and foundation stage subjects. work hard to make sure that the curriculum is planned so children can access a broad range of activities and opportunities that develop their knowledge, skills, and understanding of the world around them. Much work is undertaken regularly to ensure that our curriculum remains creative, engaging and allows children to develop a curiosity to make progress and be ready for the next stages of their learning. Phonics is taught through the Letters and Sounds program.

In EYFS, children will experience the seven areas of learning.

• Personal, Social, and Emotional Development
• Communication and Language
• Literacy
• Mathematics
• Understanding the World
• Physical Development
• Expressive Art and Design

In Key Stage One and Key Stage Two, children are taught all the elements of the National Curriculum for both core (English, Maths, and Science) and foundation subjects (history, geography, music, art, physical education (PE), design technology and religious education). Philosophy is also featured in our curriculum to generate opportunities for critical thinking. In Key Stage Two, children are taught French as a Modern Foreign Language.

We have worked hard to ensure that the national curriculum informs our planning, as well as endeavoring to meet all of the individual learning needs of our children. As far as possible, a cross-curricular, thematic approach is used to teach the ‘core’ and ‘foundation’ subjects. A theme is selected and applied across a year group each half term. By adding this dimension to learning we can provide opportunities for key skills to develop across the curriculum and to cultivate creative thinking.

We are committed to providing a fully inclusive education that meets all children’s needs. We support children fully to reach their potential and consider carefully each child’s progress regularly to ensure strategies are put into place to help overcome any potential barriers to progress.
