We are passionate about the children's learning and believe that learning should be engaging and fun, so the children are actively involved in all of their lessons. 

Our curriculum is designed and constantly evaluated so that we can embrace and support our beliefs and work for the benefit of our learners.  The curriculum takes account of the legal requirements of the National Curriculum.  

Teachers plan around themes for each subject to make learning exciting and engaging for our learners.  In turn, this enables us to plan for the needs of all learners in order that they are supported to reach and exceed their potential. 

Our aim is to provide a curriculum that is inspiring, broad, balanced and differentiated in order to help each child realise their full potential.

RE and Collective Worship

As a Church of England Primary school, Religious education is taught in accordance with the Essex agreed syllabus.  Our ethos is firmly rooted in Christianity but we consider that RE provides opportunities not only to explore the Christian faith, but to begin to understand other religions.

It should also provide opportunities for children to reflect on their inner feelings, issues such as caring, sharing, kindness, tolerance and being sensitive to the beliefs of others.

An assembly is held each day which is mainly Christian in nature.  The school enjoys close links with Canewdon Church.  The Parish Priest regularly leads assemblies and religious services at school.
