School Day
In the Foundation Stage the children follow the stepping stones programme to develop their abilities towards a range of Early Learning Goals. The six areas of learning develop Social and Emotional skills, Knowledge and Understanding, Communication, Language and Learning, Physical Development, Creative and Numerical Skills.
Then this feeds into the National Curriculum where the children in KS1 and KS2 follow the Literacy and Numeracy strategies as a part of the Primary framework. This consists of the Core Subjects of Literacy, Numeracy and Science and the foundation subjects which are Information Technology, History, Geography, Design and Technology, Music, Art, Physical Education, Religious Education alongside Personal, Social and Health Educations and Citizenship.
Literacy and Numeracy is taught daily and the other subject areas are taught weekly or in blocked units of work. Each unit follows a similar structure with the learning objective and success criteria explained to the children. There is always addition help in all the classrooms for Literacy and Numeracy and many of the Foundation Subjects.
Inclusion
There is a strong inclusive ethos in the school. At Northside we aim to provide an educational environment in which all children thrive regardless of ability, disability, gender, social background or ethnicity. We excel in supporting children with special educational needs.
