Curriculum
At Longhorsley we provide an outstanding curriculum which has been carefully planned to meet the needs of all of our learners. In partnership with the children we have developed a three year rolling programme of innovative, creative and exciting themes. A skills based curriculum for the 21st Century. A variable mixture of whole school topics, mini projects and themed weeks motivates the children and gives them enthusiasm for their learning. Our work with Creative Partnerships, now in its third year, has provided us with a bank of artists and relevant professionals to support our teaching. This has given the children access to an extensive range of other adults and a whole host of skills which would have previously not been possible for a small school to provide. It has also given the children a broader outlook on life and raised their own aspirations. The children are actively involved in the planning of each year’s topics both at the early stages and in the more detailed medium term planning, they therefore have complete ownership of their curriculum. Our involvement with Creative Partnerships for the past three years has facilitated an extensive range of opportunities which have raised the aspirations of pupils, taught them new skills and broadened their outlook on life.
