It reflects the formal requirements of the National Curriculum, meets the specific needs of the pupils, and aims to provide experiences that enrich and support academic attainment.

Our thematic curriculum is designed to teach the National Curriculum year 1-6 in an accessible, dynamic, and fun way that inspires pupils and promotes a curiosity led approach. Teaching and learning is organised using a skills progression that ensures our pupils acquire the knowledge and skills relevant to their stage of learning, and are supported to make progress.
Meadow Days support pupils to feel connected to the learning experience, to apply autonomy and individual expression to their work, and celebrate their individual progress with the adults who support them at home and at school.
