Sudley Infants is a very successful school, where children are at the heart of all we do. Our ethos is summarised in our school motto – Building Bright Futures. At Sudley Infants, we aim to create a secure, caring and stimulating learning environment in which everyone can develop and do well. We share a commitment to achieving the highest possible academic standards, alongside the development of our children as confident, caring, and responsible citizens. At Sudley Infants, we firmly believe that a key factor in helping children develop and achieve lies in the relationship between home and school and we work hard to ensure there are many opportunities for parents/carers to work with us. At Sudley Infant School we want to engage pupils to become skilled and self-motivated, lifelong learners, through an enjoyable, memorable curriculum. Children are encouraged to observe, explore and investigate the world of science, so developing their understanding, knowledge, and skills, so that they may increasingly apply these in further investigations. We aim to provide the children with a variety of opportunities to experiment with different media and techniques, in 2 and 3 dimensions, and to promote awareness and enjoyment of artwork from many cultures. We aim to develop the children's design and technology skills so that they may investigate a need or respond to opportunities to make or modify by planning effective ways of working, organizing appropriate resources, and evaluating their designs. We aim to develop an awareness and appreciation of scenic features and the nature of the built environment concerning our society and the wider world. The children should be able to use the computer as a friendly aid to access information, use CD Roms, and word process their literacy work. They are taught basic coding and debugging and how to stay safe when using the internet. To generate awareness of our multi-cultural society, to develop links between the community and the school, encouraging greater trust and understanding. We aim to involve children in enjoyable musical activities in which they may participate as performers, listeners, and composers, using a variety of styles to develop musical concepts. We aim to help children examine their own and other people’s attitudes and values and to be able to make informed decisions. We allow children to develop respect for themselves and others by discussing self-esteem and positive images. Children discuss various aspects of hygiene and healthy eating which helps them acquire the knowledge and understanding that will enable them to choose healthy lifestyles. During the Foundation Stage, the Reception curriculum is organized into seven areas. The prime areas of learning are Communication and language, Physical development, Personal, social and emotional development. The specific areas of learning are literacy, Mathematics, Understanding the World, Expressive arts, and design. These areas of learning are developed throughout the year within a variety of studies. Early in the school year, the children are allowed to enjoy a variety of books and begin to read. When appropriate they will begin to record simple writing and maths work. Our new Reception outdoor play area is enjoyed by the children as they further develop their skills. All tasks within the subjects are taught through carefully planned, well-organized, and interesting study units which the children find stimulating and enjoyable. View full school
