BCJS Curriculum
Click on the attached files at the bottom of this page to see the Curriculum topics for each Year Group.
At BCJS we strive to ensure that: | |
|
each pupil receives the best education possible and achieves the highest standards. |
|
the curriculum is broad and balanced |
|
the curriculum is matched to the individual needs of the child |
|
the curriculum helps children develop the key knowledge, skills and attitudes that they need to be a fully functioning members of society |
|
pupils develop a positive attitude towards school and that the curriculum helps foster a lifelong love of learning |
|
the curriculum raises the confidence and self-esteem of all children, challenging them to reach their full potential. |
We achieve this by: | |
|
teaching subjects discretely and focusing on the skills, knowledge and understanding needed for that subject. |
|
linking the topics for each subject within the year group to ensure continuity and relevance. |
|
ensuring that the BCJS Curriculum planning and delivery promotes the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of pupils |
|
basing topics on areas that are of relevance and interest to the children in the Banstead area as well as linking to current events locally, nationally and internationally. |
|
ensuring that the BCJS Curriculum meets the specifications of the National Curriculum |
|
providing further opportunities before, during and after the school day for children to develop their skills, knowledge, understanding and appreciation of a range of topics. |
|
timetabling and focusing on core subjects that are vital for future success (English, Mathematics, Science and Computing) but giving fair weight to non-core subjects (History, Geography, Life Skills, RE, Collective Worship, Music, Art, Design Technology, Spanish and PE) |
|
grouping the children in the most appropriate ways to help them achieve full success (in classes, small groups, interest or ability groups, 1:1 etc.) |
Although we are very proud of the well rounded curriculum that we provide at BCJS (see attachments below for further details), some specific highlights include: | |
|
year group trips such as the outdoor activity camp Marchants Hill for Year 6, Hampton Court Palace for Year 5, Brooklands Museum for Year 4 and Brighton for Year 3 |
|
special whole school days and half days celebrating specific subjects such as:- maths mornings, Spanish afternoons and Sports Week. |
|
a huge range of extra-curricular opportunities, especially for sport, music and art |
|
specific workshops for topics including African drum workshops in Music, Maths Methods plays and drama workshops on Egyptians, Tudors, Romans and Ancient Greeks. |
|
charitable events for organisations such as Children in Need and emergency disaster relief organisations |
|
the children working together with many local organisations such as Rotary Club, Greenacre Nursing Home, Banstead Scouts, Banstead Library, Waitrose supermarket, Flitton’s Nursery and the Banstead May Fayre. |
