The school curriculum at Pedmore is based on the National Curriculum, and develops skills and knowledge across school. Please click on the following links if you require more information, or look at the tabs below.
Curriculum Statement
Our curriculum follows the National Curriculum with subjects being taught both discretely and as part of carefully planned topics. We plan to give a holistic approach to learning, sometimes led by children’s interests, whilst at the same time ensuring the development of individual subject skills and knowledge.
Children are taught as a whole class with both group, paired and individual work also widely used. We are developing a mastery approach in all subjects, teaching to all with high expectations. Children are then supported or challenged within this approach based on formative assessment by the teacher.
English
Whilst Reading and Writing are interwoevn in much of the English work we do, we do teach aspects of each area individually.
