Cofton Primary School

When children start school in Reception, they follow the Early Years Foundation Stage guidance. Currently, Cofton pupils in Years 1-6 follow the National Curriculum.

 

Personal, Social, Health Education (PSHE) is at the heart of our curriculum. This supports our ethos of our pupils being 'happy and successful' at Cofton. In order to be successful, we believe pupils should be happy at school. We also recognise that 'success' will look very different to different pupils. Our aim is for pupils to continue to be 'happy and successful', throughout their lives, in whatever they choose to do, being responsible citizens who contribute positively to society. 

​

The children undertake a vibrant, motivating and balanced curriculum that takes account of abilities, aptitudes and physical, emotional and intellectual development. At Cofton, we aim to make this exciting and enjoyable. Most children will achieve the expected level by the end of Key Stage 1, and subsequently, by the end of Key Stage 2.

 

Our Curriculum Maps show how each subject is mapped out term by term. Visitors and visits are planned to help make learning 'real' and also fun so that pupils are 'happy and successful'.
