How we learn

Normanton-on-Soar has a broad, balanced and inclusive curriculum that is coherently planned and sequenced to ensure progression of knowledge, skills and understanding across the school.

Our mission is clear: Through the high-quality teaching of our ambitious curriculum, every child at Normanton-on-Soar can achieve their full potential and become well-rounded individuals, ready for the next stage of their education.

At Normanton-on-Soar Primary School our curriculum incorporates Early Years Foundation Stage and the National Curriculum.  We offer a positive, challenging, and enjoyable learning experience which meets all our children’s needs and abilities. The curriculum is delivered through topics and experiential learning opportunities such as visits and trips. We also ensure that the children experience a variety of enrichment activities such as theatre groups, outdoor learning and musicians. 

Our children also need to develop resilience and social and emotional skills if they are to participate fully in society. It is our awareness of this need which has led to the development of our STAR learning approach

 At Normanton-on-Soar Primary School, all teachers are responsible for providing an inclusive curriculum that is differentiated for those with Special Educational Needs or Disabilities (SEND). We have high expectations for all pupils and are committed to ensuring our curriculum complies with the Equality Act 2010 and the Special Educational Needs and Disability Regulations 2014. 

Our inclusion statement emphasises the importance of providing an inclusive learning environment for all pupils including those with SEND. Additional information on this can be found in our Special Education Needs Information Report and Equalities Policy.

For children in the Foundation Unit, learning is accessed through a range of indoor and outdoor activities.

Current Reading and Phonics Schemes are Read Write inc and the school is a partner school with the English Hub.
