Curriculum Overview
Bradwell CE Infant School – Curriculum Policy
We follow the National Curriculum and place a high emphasis on the teaching of the National Curriculum core subjects, English, Mathematics and Science. Alongside these we develop skills, understanding and knowledge in the following National Curriculum subjects: Design and Technology, History, Geography, Art and Design, Music, Physical Education, Computing, PSHE (Personal, Social & Health Education) and Religious Education. Much of the work is based on whole-school topics which are carefully planned to meet our children’s needs and the legal requirements of the National Curriculum.
