National and EYFS
The National Curriculum lies at the heart of what is taught at Bousfield. It has been in place since September 2014. It sets out a clear, full and statutory entitlement to learning for all children aged five to eleven for all maintained schools in England to follow and determines the content of what will be taught. It is preceded by the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Curriculum which is taught to children aged three to five (Nursery and Reception) and was recently updated in 2021.
Curriculum
The curriculum at Bousfield is not static and is subject to ongoing development in order to enhance the delivery to our children, and remove potential barriers to learning. In order to learn successfully, we believe children need: to develop positive self-images through knowing they are valued for themselves, to have equality of opportunity to gain full access to the curriculum, opportunities to form positive relationships within a stable and secure environment, opportunities to express themselves creatively and apply their skills and knowledge, access to a range of stimulating activities, trips, workshops and appropriate resources.
Art
Art is, for most children, a natural form of expression and a source of great pleasure. Art stimulates creativity and imagination. Understanding, appreciation and enjoyment of the visual arts has the power to enrich our lives.During their time in school, we encourage children to develop their creative and imaginative talents through learning skills and techniques and using a number of materials and tools.Children are introduced to a wide variety of creative forms including drawing, painting, collage, sculpture and printing, and they are taught to use materials and tools with precision and care.
Clubs
They are delighted that Bousfield clubs have restarted in September 2021. With over 30 clubs being offered either before and after school, there is a great opportunity for children to enjoy an excellent range of extra-curricular activities.
Special Education Needs & Disabilities (SEND)
It is estimated that one in five children needs extra support at some time in their school lives. The aim is to provide the best possible education for all children. You know your child best and they wish to work in partnership with you to ensure that your child achieves his or her best.Children with special educational needs (SEN) have needs or disabilities that affect their ability to learn. Special educational needs aren't always a lifelong problem. Some children only need support for a short time.
