This page contains a general overview of our curriculum. For more detail follow the Mousehole Curriculum Detail link here or in the menu on the left.
Curriculum Intent
At Mousehole School we aim to achieve a happy, successful, warm, caring environment where children learn the knowledge and skills they need to reach their full potential and to be ready for the next step in their education. We aim to make the best of every opportunity to develop confidence, respect and a love of learning in all members of the school community.
Implementation
At Mousehole School we passionately believe that the primary school curriculum experience should be a wide and varied one. We rigorously and methodically teach children to read, write and use maths and we also teach them a wide range of knowledge and skills that we believe are important for making them happy and productive members of society.
Impact
We monitor our curriculum through internal procedures involving all teaching staff and regular learning forums involving governors and staff. We work closely and openly with the Truro Penwith Education Trust to ensure our judgements are moderated externally and lead to further improvements in curriculum delivery.
The teachers carefully plan engaging projects which cover the requirements of the Mousehole Curriculum. You can find details of the skills and knowledge taught at each stage of the Mousehole Curriculum in the downloads below. You will also find more detail about the delivery of core subjects - Maths, Reading, Writing and Science. Our curriculum meets the requirements of the National Curriculum programmes of study but it is our intention that the Mousehole Curriculum offers a wider and more bespoke body of knowledge and skills to the children who attend Mousehole School.
Alongside the curriculum, each term we focus on a different set of themed learning skills as part of assemblies and classroom work. These give children an understanding of how they learn and how they can make the most out of being members of a learning community. There is more detail in the download below but we have six areas we focus on:
Expect to Connect
Wander and Wonder
The reflective Perspective
Empathy and Equity
Think Big
Believe in Me
