Curriculum

At St John Bosco we aim to provide a curriculum that has suitable breadth, depth and relevance so that all relevant statutory requirements, as well as the needs and interests of children are met. Our broad and balanced curriculum inspires pupils to learn. The range of subjects and strong links between them helps pupils acquire knowledge, understanding and skills in all aspects of their education.

We review the curriculum regularly and constantly assess the impact on outcomes for all pupils and remodel it where necessary in order to help all pupils perform well.

Flashbacks

In order to help our children know more and remember more, we use flashbacks in all lessons. These are used to look back at previous learning to help us reflect on what we already know and make links with our new learning.

Knowledge Organisers

We have produced our own Knowledge Organisers for every unit in all subjects. These are sent home every half-term for parents to use to further support their child as well as used on displays in classrooms to help the children.

Here are a small sample of our knowledge organisers:

• Example Knowledge Organiser – Online Safety
• Example Knowledge Organiser – Team Games
• Example Knowledge Organiser – Year 2 Non-Chronological Reports
• Example Knowledge Organiser – Year 3/4 Fractions
• Example Knowledge Organiser – Year 4 Sound
• Example Knowledge Organiser – Year 5 Rivers and Canals
• Example Knowledge Organiser – Year 6 Mechanisms: Fairground Ride
