We hope these pages will provide you with the information you need about the curriculum at Sandhills Primary School. You will find links to some of the support materials we use including Cornerstones Curriculum https://cornerstoneseducation.co.uk/products/curriculum/cornerstones-curriculum-england/ which we use for all of our topic based work and programmes such as Read, Write, Inc for phonics https://www.ruthmiskin.com/en/programmes/phonics/.  Information about the  White Rose Maths materials that we use can be found here https://whiterosemaths.com/advice-and-guidance and here https://whiterosemaths.com/parent-resources.

In addition to the information on the website, there are several other opportunities to find out about the curriculum at our school. At the start of the year, Class Teachers will send home lots of information about their class and part of this will cover the topics the class will be learning that year. Every half term, each class sends home a topic web that shows what topic the class will be studying that term and specifically what they will be learning in each curriculum area.

EYFS parents / carers will be invited to meetings that explain how phonics and reading are taught to our youngest children.  Please look out for other information sharing opportunities for parents, carers and families including information sent in our newsletters.

From time to time, parents / carers are invited to take part in ‘Wow Days’ where they can see the work the children have done at the end of a topic. Parents / carers are also invited to Celebration Assemblies, usually three times a year to hear all about what the children have been learning.  These are also filmed and shared via Google Classroom for anyone who is unable to attend.
