This section of the website is focused on our Curriculum and provides an overview of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Framework and the Curriculum offer for children in Years 1 to 6. The Curriculum is all the planned activities that the school organises in order to promote learning, personal growth and development. It includes not only the formal requirements of the National Curriculum, but also the range of additional opportunities that the school organises in order to enrich the experiences of our children.
Our Curriculum also includes the social aspects imperative for life-long learning. Our ‘Investing In Children’ Award demonstrates the importance of children having high expectations of behaviour and tolerance towards each other and feeling that they have a ‘voice’ in school. Cotherstone Primary School was awarded ‘Outstanding’ from Ofsted in February 2013. The school continues to maintain high standards believing that education has to continually improve.
Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)
At Cotherstone Primary we believe that inclusive education means providing all pupils with appropriate education and support alongside their peers. The Curriculum is all the planned activities that the school organises in order to promote learning, personal growth and development. Further information can be found in the SEN Information Report. If you would like to discuss your SEND requirements in detail please contact the school to arrange an appointment.
Cotherstone Primary School aims to maximise social and academic potential for every pupil on their exciting school journey. We have provided information about our approach to Reading and Phonics at our school.
