At Redland School, we endeavour to provide the children with the necessary skills, knowledge and understanding to make informed choices about the important things in their lives. At this school we believe in the concept of skills for life and the idea that people learn new things every day. We maintain that learning should be a rewarding and enjoyable experience for everyone. We want our children to have high aspirations for their futures, to feel safe and supported and to be recognised as individuals who are the fundamental part of our school community.
Redland School aims to provide all pupils, regardless of ethnicity, culture, religion, home language, family background, learning difficulties, disabilities, gender or ability, equal access to all aspects of school life and work to ensure that every child is valued fully as an individual. Teachers will make reasonable adjustments to planning and resources in order to ensure that all children are included and have equal access to learning, this includes the continuing development of our ordinarily available provision to meet the needs of learners.
Redland School follows the National Curriculum as the basis for all planning in Years 1 to 6, and ‘The Early Years Foundation Stage’ for pupils in FS2. From Foundation Stage, this is supplemented with the White Rose scheme of work for mathematics; Little Wandle synthetic phonics scheme for phonics; Twinkl Planit scheme for Science; ‘Get Set For PE’ for PE, ‘Jigsaw’ for PSHE, RSE and Religious Education, and Kapow for Art. Please see the link below for our 2 year topic cycle.
Statutory English and Maths tests are carried out in Year 6, the Phonics Screening Check takes place in Year 1 and the Multiplication tables check takes place in Year 4. Assessments are carried out by class teachers three times a year, and children’s progress is monitored at ‘Pupil Progress Meetings’ involving the class teacher, SENCo and senior leadership team. In July, every child receives a written report which includes comments on attainment and progress across curricular areas as well as key targets for the following year.
