Subject Overviews

One of the main ways we deliver our mission is through our broad and balanced curriculum. Below, you will find links to our Curriculum Intent Statements. These set out an overview of what will be taught, the sequencing of the curriculum and links to objectives for children to achieve by the end of each year group or end point (EYFS, KS1, KS2). As a small school, we carefully select and adapt commercial schemes to support our delivery of the National Curriculum and EYFS Statutory Framework. Due to the mixed age classes, the school operates on a two-year, rolling programme of study. We use Little Wandle Letters and Sounds to teach phonics.

If parents/carers or members of the public wish to find out further information about our curriculum, please contact our school office admin@ponsbourne.herts.sch.uk

During the autumn and spring terms, there is an opportunity to attend parent consultations. This involves a meeting with your child’s teacher to discuss progress in learning and targets for the year. During the summer term parents receive a written report on their child’s annual progress. We share termly class curriculum newsletters with parents setting out an overview of what will be taught in each subject.
