Our Learning
All children are encouraged to enjoy learning. We place a high value on making learning fun and exciting. Creativity, exploration, imagination and investigation are values clearly visible in all lessons. We teach through a topic-based, creative approach, making links across the subjects under each topic theme. Learning in all areas is differentiated, according to each child’s current attainment and potential ability with clear learning outcomes and success criteria. Occasionally, we move away from topic-based learning where we feel this will be beneficial. For example, in our daily maths teaching, we link to a topic only if it is appropriate to do so. We strive to provide a curriculum that motivates and challenges every pupil to achieve their best. We aim to provide an engaging curriculum through which children look forward to coming to school every day, celebrating their success and telling others of their experiences and learning.
Beyond the statutory requirements, we also provide opportunities for pupils to develop as part of a school community through representing the school through an elected School Council, Worship Council, House Captains, Prefects and Play Leaders. At Elworth we place great emphasis on the acquisition and development of the 5 Rs of learning: Resilience, Responsibility, Reflection, Resourcefulness and Readiness). We also offer many varied extended curriculum opportunities for our pupils, via extra-curricular clubs and activities.
