Carrington Infant School SPARKLING Curriculum

At Carrington Infant School we map our bespoke Carrington Infant School Sparkling Curriculum on Sonar Map Maker. We believe each subject should have a golden thread running from EYFS to Year 2, linking learning and therefore building understanding. 

At Carrington Infant School we place a strong emphasis on a sparkling curriculum that is driven by Enrichment, Inclusion and Oracy. With our school values Kindness, Respect and Honesty underpinning everything we do and believe in. These values are taught through traditional teaching, school council, assemblies, clubs, extra-curricular activities, learning experiences and every other aspect of school life that the children experience. We believe that a well-rounded education goes beyond academics, and our curriculum is designed to provide pupils with a wealth of opportunities for personal and social development. Whether through sports, music, art, or community opportunities, we aim to help pupils become well-rounded individuals with a love of learning that will last a lifetime.​

Our curriculum has been reviewed and developed over the last two years to be ambitious, relevant to our school and its locality and built on high quality learning experiences. 

Children travel through a carefully constructed curriculum, ensuring they access the full range of subjects and content, whilst developing through a progression of skills and knowledge.

Our intent is for our curriculum to be engaging, challenging, thought provoking and enjoyable, with a mix of high quality practical experiences and detailed and worthwhile knowledge development.

EYFS Floor Books

Each Reception Class has a floor book which provides a wonderful record of the learning that has taken place each term. Children are encouraged to view it and discuss their learning and it is shared with parents during Parent Consultation. 

Year 1 & 2 Knowledge Organisers

At Carrington Infant School Year 1 & 2 classes create Knowledge Organisers at the start of each new curriculum topic. This may have a science focus, history or Geography focus. 

The organisers are sent home so parents can support their child/ren with the learning that is happening in class. 

We share vocabulary and definitions as well as key learning intentions. 

See some examples of knowledge organisers below.
