Curriculum Enhancements
Each section below details how we supplement our taught curriculum with a range of initiatives, events, ongoing actions and links inside and outside of school. This forms part of the curriculum offer for our children here at Moorthorpe, and helps us to meet our vision for them to:
- Remember knowledge
- Apply skills
- Develop vocabulary
- Make connections
- Enjoy the process
We also aim to develop the whole-child by intending for pupils to:
- Understand their world
- Communicate effectively
- Find avenues for creative expression
- Regulate wellbeing & self-care
- Show empathy, compassion & pride
