Key Information
Curriculum
The curriculum is all the planned activities that we organise in order to promote learning, personal growth, and development. It includes not only the formal requirements of the National Curriculum, but also the curriculum guarantees we as a school provide to develop the independence and responsibility of all of our pupils. We ensure that all children have a broad, balanced and relevant education that provides continuity and progression and takes individual differences into account. We aim to teach our pupils how to grow into positive, responsible people, who can work and co-operate with others while developing knowledge and skills so that they achieve their full potential.
In Ginkgo, we also have 'independent learning' time. Independent learning time allows the children to extend what they have learnt and challenge themselves. Each activity is carefully selected to align to what the children are learning. They are design to challenge and allow the children to involve themselves in a practical and immersive activity. This approach also helps build the children's independence by encouraging them to actively take ownership of their learning. We also have an outdoor area the children access to, with activities such as construction often taking place outside. We try to use the school's amazing outdoor space as much as possible.
