1. Perryfields Primary PRU 2014 Curriculum

2. Aims of the new Perryfields curriculum:
Keep up to date with national expectations
Make the Curriculum personal to Perryfields Primary PRU pupils.
Clear links to the type of pupil(s) who attend the PRU, encompassing both PX pupils and 6-week behaviour courses.
Identify opportunities to develop provision for pupils identified as Gifted and Talented.
Plan for progression and differentiation.
Ensure there is the correct balance of skills and knowledge.
Embed engagement, team-work, cohesion, self-esteem and most importantly an enjoyment of learning (FUN!!!).
To further ensure the curriculum, our plans and the direction we want to head in as a school, are personal to Perryfields, the staff and pupils have identified 2 main key drivers that will underpin the individual lessons and provide a focus point for each topic. Also, these key drivers are linked to areas the school wish to develop on both the School Development Plan (SDP) and the Self Evaluation (SEF).

3. Knowledge and understanding of our Community, Country, and Wider World.
Focus on - Great British Values, empathy, community cohesion, charity, anti-bullying, SEALs themes etc…, Geography/History basics. Famous people.
Try new things.
Linked to SDP, focus on - educational visits/visitors, residential experiences , enrichment, risk taking, new skills, perseverance, food/drink, different learning styles, behaviour management strategies/self help, DT etc…
Key Drivers

4. The new school curriculum will ensure
Skills and knowledge aspects interwoven and of equal importance.
Clear progression between year groups

5. The new school curriculum has….
6 over riding themes (1 per half term)
Each theme has 1 lead subject such as Art (Sculptures) and the non-core/foundation subjects are then matched as best as possible to each theme/topic.
The objectives are then matched per year group/age appropriate.
Skills/end of year expectations split into 3 categories, KS1, lower KS2, upper key stage 2.
No levels, children are assessed by the end of year expectations.
Expectations are progressive so planning must show differentiation for PX pupils.
