'Life in all its Fullness’ - Living, Loving, Learning Together'

^{(John 10:10)}

It is our intention to enable each child to reach their full potential, both spiritually and intellectually, within a loving, safe and nurturing environment where they are central to all that we do.

We Aim to:

• Provide a holistic, meaningful and engaging curriculum which inspires a love of learning.
• Promote equality of opportunity and develop our children’s awareness of others and moral, cultural, social and spiritual issues.
• Develop and strengthen the abilities of all individuals, to encourage a high self-esteem, and promote high standards of behaviour making them responsible and valuable members of society.
• Include and involve all members of the school and the wider community of Newborough and the surrounding area in a common enterprise to benefit from the past, learn in our present and strive for our future. 

We aim to provide a broad and balanced curriculum which excites, engages and motivates our children. The core subject Science and foundation subjects are connected by themes and mapped into half termly topics.

Curriculum Organisation

Each year group will be taught new topics each half term. New topics will begin with a memorable experience to hook the children into their new learning. During this ‘engage’ stage, questions will be used to elicit the children’s prior knowledge, ideas and interests.

The next stage of the project is the ‘develop’ stage, where the children explore themes, subjects and concepts in greater depth in order to develop a deeper understanding. 

Finally, in the ‘express’ stage, the children reflect upon their learning, explain their learning in different ways and identify next steps.

Where appropriate, links will be made between the topics and our English curriculum. Meaningful writing experiences, linked to wider curriculum work, will be planned and focus texts for English lessons will be matched to topic themes. Some mathematical work will also be linked to the themes.

Curriculum Enrichment

Trips and visitors are arranged to promote the children’s learning through first hand experiences and providing cultural capital to support their knowledge and understanding of the world that we live in. These support the school’s curriculum and can be in the form of extended visits (residential) and day trips. The school will try and provide as much notice as possible to allow parents to budget for these costs.

After school / lunchtime clubs are organised on a termly basis. These clubs enable children to pursue their interests. 

A range of peripatetic music specialists provide tuition during the school day. Further information about the range of instruments taught at Newborough and the cost of this provision is available from the school office.

Remote Education 

In the event of the school needing to provide Remote Education, due to disruption to children's education being provided in school, this will be via the school online platform through Google Classrooms. Remote education will involve work being set on Google Classrooms, virtual lessons and some independent time to complete work. If Remote Learning is required, further information will be sent to you via email.
