Here at VLA, we follow the 2014 National Curriculum and leaders have created a rich, broad, balanced and inclusive offering for our pupils that provides for the needs of those who attend.
In line with our school ethos and values, we have identified three aspirations we hope to foster in our pupils:
Victoria Lane Academy – Curriculum Aspirations
Wherever possible, we aim to enrich our curriculum with trips, workshops, visitors and refuse to allow the cost of these to be a barrier to learning.
Overview
Each class in KS1 and KS2 will learn about three different ‘characters’ each year and these important figures will provide the foundations for teaching about History, Geography, Art, Writing, Non-fiction reading, British Values and personal development. All other subject areas are taught as stand alone subjects. Children in Early Years will be introduced to a variety of these characters throughout their time in Nursery and Reception.
Reading, Maths, Writing all take place daily. Science, PE, RE, PHSE, Humanities, ICT and Spanish are taught weekly. Art, DT and Music are taught in blocks each term.
Please see the Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 Curriculum Overview for a quick overview of what we will be teaching and when in each year group.
For more detailed information, including progression of skills and assessment in each subject, please visit the tabs on the right hand side of the page.
