Music Curriculum Statement Intent Our intent is to provide our children with an engaging, exciting and empowering curriculum that allows them to develop as confident responsible citizens equipped with the skills that will allow them to be successful in our ever-changing world, both in the present and the future. We believe that childhood should be a happy, investigative and enquiring time in our lives. We constantly provide enrichment opportunities (memorable experiences) to engage learners and develop their cultural capital which has been recognised as essential if children are to succeed. We believe that our children should not only reach their best academically, but also develop a thirst for knowledge, foster a love of learning and leave our school with exceptional independent learning skills. We are fully committed to developing each child's unique potential within a secure and caring environment. We use our Captain Webb Values to promote positive attitudes to learning: Listen Encourage Achieve Respect Nurture Music and singing are integral to the life of a Captain Webb child. We provide a vibrant musical experience for all children with fun and enjoyment at its heart. Our objective at Captain Webb is to develop a curiosity for the subject, as well as an understanding and acceptance of the validity and importance of all types of music, and an unbiased respect for the role that music may wish to be expressed in any person’s life. We are committed to ensuring children understand the value and importance of music in the wider community, and are able to use their musical skills, knowledge, and experiences to involve themselves in music in a variety of different contexts. We provide opportunities for all children to compose, play, perform and enjoy music. Through our music curriculum pupils will gain self-confidence and a sense of achievement. Children will develop their capacity to express ideas and feelings through the medium of sound. Extra-curricular clubs such as our school choir, musical theatre club and instrumental lessons enhance our curriculum offer. Implementation Music is firmly embedded into everyday life at Captain Webb. We deliver a clear and comprehensive scheme of work in line with the National Curriculum. Music is taught for one hour weekly. Music lessons in both Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 are taught by a specialist teacher from Telford and Wrekin Music. EYFS have music sessions delivered by Music Minors. Utilising specialist teachers ensures knowledge and skills are progressive from the age of 2 to the age of 11 as well as giving our children the opportunity to experience learning instruments from experienced tutors. This also ensures that children receive high quality music provision and that teachers receive valuable, regular CPD. Charanga is also used to support key concepts and includes many examples of music styles and genres from different times and places. These are explored through the language of music via active listening, performing and composing activities, which enable understanding of the context and genre. In doing so children gain an understanding into different methods of creating notes, as well as how to read basic music notation. They also learn to compose focussing on different dimensions of music, which in turn feeds their understanding when playing or appraising music. Weekly music lessons are just the start here at Captain Webb. Singing and music underpin everything that we do which is evidenced in our Gold Award from Artsmark. One of our popular extra-curricular clubs is our Key Stage 2 Young Voices Group where we make community links and sing at our local Dawley Christmas Light Switch On. We also perform in homes for the elderly which both the children and adults thoroughly enjoy. Our extra-curricular clubs and ‘Music of the Month’ enhance our cultural capital and children hear music from Beethoven right through to Ed Sheeran. Singing is also embedded in our weekly singing assemblies and we are proud to say we are a Sing Up school that supports children in finding their voices. Telford and Wrekin Music also deliver high quality small group and 1:1 tutoring sessions for Pupil Premium children in keyboard and guitar weekly. There is plenty of opportunity for children to sing and play instruments as part of our Captain Webb’s Got Talent showcase every summer. Children at Captain Webb regularly experience live music in the form of theatre shows and live bands. Live performances add to the music offer all children receive and provide opportunities for Pupil Premium children that they might not otherwise experience. Impact All children will benefit from a high-quality music education which engages and inspires them to develop a love of music and their talent as musicians. It will increase their self-confidence, creativity and sense of achievement. As pupils progress, they will develop a growing musical vocabulary that allows them to critically engage with music. Teaching and learning of music is a reflective process for the children as they are given the opportunities to assess themselves and their peers. The children also celebrate their success and skills with their peers and wider audiences. Assessment is used to help teachers to help children. We assess through ongoing teacher questioning and observation. Video evidence which captures each child’s progress throughout the year is taken 3 times per year so time isn’t taken away from children’s learning. Children also complete a termly vocabulary check assessment against the musical elements. All assessment is used to ensure children are progressing appropriately and where they are not adjustments are made to our curriculum to ensure these gaps are plugged before moving on. We utilise pupil voice regularly as a means of engaging children in their own learning and what they would like to see in their Captain Webb music journey. As part of our music provision, we achieved an Excellence in Music Provision Award from The Music Partnership and our Year 3 pupils received a Distinction in Music Performance from the University of West London.

2 Year Old's (Day Care) We have a well established curriculum for our 2 year olds, that is planned by our highly professional, experienced and qualified staff who take each opportunity to meet the individual needs of their children. The Pre-School Manager and EYFS Lead Teacher work closely with staff to ensure that planning and delivery is of the highest quality. This close working relationship will also ensure an effective and efficient transition into the rising 3’s room and beyond into reception. Here at Captain Webb we offer our 2 year olds a range of different experiences that supports their communication and language, physical development and their overall confidence such as, as weekly profession music teacher form ‘Music Minors Company’, a P.E. session with our Cross Bar coaches, weekly sessions in our onsite forest school and a weekly yoga session from our qualified toddler yoga teacher and room leader. We ensure that our staff: child ratio 1:4 for children aged 2 – 3, and 1:8 for children aged 3 – 4 years are upheld and often exceeded. What Our Day looks like 9:45 (12:15) – Drop off. This is an opportunity to talk to staff about their children and ensure a calm and happy handover. 9:15 (12:45) – Focus Communication and Language groups. The children will learn to regulate their behaviour, join in with singing and an activity that promotes effective communication and language. 9:30 (1:00) - Dough Disco. This session focuses on the children’s fine motor control. 9:45 (1:15) – Project learning and rolling snack. During this time the staff will open the outdoor environment, run a planned activity and support children to access snack independently and safely. Key workers will also use this time to develop individual’s next steps through an overarching theme which can be found on the overviews bellow. 11:15 (2:45) – Key worker groups. These sessions are specifically planned to meet next steps and therefore could be focused around maths, literacy and always delivered with high quality communication and language at the heart of the session. 11:30 (3:00) – Rhyme time. The 2 year old have specific rhymes that are planned for across the year. 11:45 (3:15) – Home time. This is an additional opportunity for parents to talk to staff about their child. Each parent will receive a daily form which gives specific information about their child’s day. *We offer a quiet and peaceful environment for any children who are still having naps in the afternoon. These are supervised by a member of staff at all times and a sleep record is kept for each child. What you will need to provide Water is always accessible within the room but if you would like to provide your child with a water bottle please ensure it is labelled with their name. Outdoor clothing and wellies for their forest school day. Bag of spare clothes (pants, socks, trousers/skirt and top). Nappies, we do provide wet wipes but if your child requires something specific, please inform the staff. Barrier creams will be applied with permission and will need to be provided by you. ​ Parents sessions Across the year we will be inviting parents and carers in for ‘Stay and Play’ sessions, dates are pre-planned and you can find them here . Stay and play sessions are your opportunity to talk to the room staff, look at your child’s learning journey and experiencing project learning opportunities. We often celebrate events in these sessions such as Christmas or valentines day with parents and carers. This children have a fun non-competitive sports day in the last summer term. Rolling Snacks Snack time at our nursery is fun and educational. We try to replicate the family environment with children sitting around the table to encourage conversation and develop physical skills pouring water from jugs and when using the cutlery. ​ Water, cow’s milk and fresh fruit is provided throughout the day at our snack table (or alternative milk for those with dairy allergies). We change our snack menu daily.

School Games Mark Award 2023.25 Captain Webb received the top accolade for school sport and games: The School Games PLATINUM Award ! This Government led scheme rewards schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community. We have achieved this award for 4 years running (excluding COVID years). AWARD WINNING PROVISION OF PE. P.E Curriculum Statement Intent Our intent is to provide our children with an engaging, exciting and empowering curriculum that allows them to develop as confident responsible citizens equipped with the skills that will allow them to be successful in our ever-changing world, both in the present and the future. We believe that childhood should be a happy, investigative and enquiring time in our lives.

We believe that our children should not only reach their best academically, but also develop a thirst for knowledge, foster a love of learning and leave our school with exceptional independent learning skills. ​ We are fully committed to developing each child's unique potential within a secure and caring environment. We use our Captain Webb Values to promote positive attitudes to learning: ​ Listen Encourage Achieve Respect Nurture Implementation Physical Education is taught at Captain Webb Primary School as an area of learning, as well as being integrated where possible with other curriculum areas such as Maths where we provide a contextual opportunity for time and measure. We have implemented a curriculum where pupils from the age of 2 to the age of 11 not only enjoy but also allows them to experience a range of activities that broaden their knowledge and experience. PE consists of two hourly lessons per week. During the summer term Year 5 and 6 receive high quality swimming lessons where there is also a focus on performing lifesaving strokes. ​ The key knowledge and skills of each topic are mapped across each year group. This ensures that children develop their knowledge of games, dance, gymnastics, athletics and outdoor and adventurous activity progressively throughout the whole school. The skills in these areas are also developed systematically, with the programme of study for each year group building on previous learning and preparing for subsequent years. Knowledge and skills are informed and linked to enable achievement of key stage end points, as informed by the 2014 National Curriculum. We teach lessons so that children develop fundamental movement skills, become increasingly competent and confident and access a broad range of opportunities to extend their agility, balance and coordination, individually and with others. Every lesson requires the children to think of the importance of preparing their body for physical activity, acquiring and developing new knowledge and skills and also evaluating and improving their performances and the performance of others. ​ As part of the Telford School Sport Partnership children are given a wide range of opportunities to engage in inter and intra competitions throughout the year. This allows them to communicate, collaborate and compete against each other on a consistent basis. At Captain Webb we acquire an outside agency to teach PE alongside class teachers. This ensures that every child receives high quality PE and that teachers receive specialist training on a regular basis. This guarantees sustainability. They also provide opportunities for children to extend their school day by taking part in a variety of activities thus supporting their health and well being during the current pandemic crisis. Our PE Curriculum, along with PSHE and science, teaches children about the importance of healthy living and learning about the need for good nutrition. We aim for children to develop the necessary knowledge and skills which will have a positive impact on their future by becoming physically active citizens to benefit their long-term health and well-being. This is delivered during Health Awareness Week which focus on cross curricular links with PSHE and Science. ​ Impact In order to increase our children’s cultural capital, we provide opportunities for the children to; ​ Inter sporting competitions such as the Crossbar cup. A range of intra sporting competitions such as Archery, Boccia and New Age Curling. Arthog Outreach where children experience canoeing, caving and climbing. Arthog residential visit where children experience a variety of outdoor activities such as, orienteering, mining, mountain walk as well as team building activities where children focus on problem solving. France residential visit where children experience survival skills, scavenger hunt and take part in Chateaux Olympics. ​ The school achieves well in a number of sporting activities and achieved a School Games Mark Gold Award in recognition of its PE provision and children’s access to competitive sports which the school has maintained since 2017. The use of external agencies such as West End Dance also demonstrates the positive impact of the Pe curriculum. We are now working towards achieving an AFPE Quality Games Mark Award which acknowledges and celebrates outstanding practice and innovation in Physical Education, School Sport and Physical Activity.

We have achieved this in many ways. ​ Within the school week, we provide all children with 2 hours of timetabled PE. A minimum of 1 hour is delivered by a qualified sports coach with the other hour being delivered by the class teacher. During these lessons children aren’t only taught knowledge about the sport they are playing, they are also taught how to warm up and why this is important. PE is also used as a cross curricular link to support the children’s learning. An example of this is the maths unit which focuses on measure, ordinal numbers and time. Here the measure the length of a jump, order where their friends came in a race and time how long it takes their friends to complete a race. In PSHE children are taught how to keep healthy, this includes knowing how to eat a balanced diet and why this is important. ​ In this current financial crisis, we aim to support the parents as much as possible. So to ensure that all children are able to participate in PE with the correct clothing, we provide them with a universal PE kit. This creates an inclusive environment where everyone feels involved. ​ At Captain Webb we also understand the importance of brain breaks. We engage the children in physical activity during the start of a lesson. This usually takes place in EYFS and KS1 where an introductory video to a lesson that promotes movement is shared. The Jack Hartman channel, which is one of our favourites to use, involves maths skills alongside singing and physical movement. Go Noodle is also used, this can range from dancing, yoga and call and respond movement songs. Our Daily Mile track is used in the afternoons in between lessons as a brain break. Children complete laps around the track and complete activities at different stations during their lap. ​ Our swimming programme changed venues this year as our local swimming pool had closed so this meant finding alternative provision further afield. Although this was stressful and more costly to the school it was worth it seeing the enjoyment on the children’s faces and their amazing progress. Due to COVID our swimming percentage of children who can swim 25 metres unaided plummeted to 20%. We therefore prioritised this and spent extra funding and by the end of the sessions, this had increased to 70%. This is our highest percentage to date. ​ Including the statutory two hours of PE we are very proud that we also provide a range of physical lunch time activities. Children can take part in the following carousel activities: daily mile, football, parachute games, adventure playground, acting out stories in forest school and basketball. ​ In addition to this, we have appointed sports leaders throughout the school. Two children represent each year group. These children attend regular meetings with the PE coordinator. During these meetings the leaders have contributed to the breadth of curriculum and after school club activities. They also supported the coordinator with organising Sports Day and with activities on the day. ​ We also offer a range of other sports clubs after school with the aim of appealing to all children; these include netball, hockey, dance, cricket, athletics, and dodgeball. These clubs are provided by teachers, external sports coaches, and local club volunteers. This year the attendance at these clubs has been higher than ever. Our after-school club (wrap around provision) also offer physical activities and games every evening, as well as access to the climbing frame, hall and the playground. To increase our children’s cultural capital and physical activity, we provide these unique opportunities for the children to take part in; ​ Arthog Outreach where Year 3 and Year 5 students experience canoeing and caving. Arthog residential visit where Year 4 pupils experience a variety of outdoor activities such as, orienteering, mining, mountain walking as well as team building activities where children focus on problem solving. France residential visit where Year 6 children experience survival skills, scavenger hunting and take part in Chateaux Olympics. Furthermore, we have established a wide range of links with clubs and sports centres in our local area which have encouraged children to continue to be active outside of the school environment. These links include secondary schools, Shropshire Cricket Board, Hexagon Telford Tigers Schools Partnership, Tennis Shropshire Schools, Multicultural Development Telford & Wrekin, Bikeability and Sports for Champions. As a school, we also advertise and offer taster sessions and assemblies, where coaches come in and allow the children to experience these sports in the school environment. We have recently acquired a new partnership in Sports for Champions. This partnership offers the children of Captain Webb Primary School the opportunity to raise money whilst exercising alongside a Team GB athlete. Bikeability provides children the opportunity to take part in a practical cycling training course, delivered by Telford & Wrekin Council’s Bikeability Team. Bikeability is a national standard cycle training programme designed to give cyclists the skills and confidence to cycle in modern road conditions. ​ Finally, our association with the Telford School Sports Partnership continues to have a positive impact on our PE curriculum. They provide important CPD opportunities for our school staff to upskill and to ensure the quality of lessons they deliver are at a high level. They also provide engaging sporting festivals and transition events. They arrange inter school sport competitions for all abilities and ages. We have entered many all-inclusive competitions including dodgeball, archery, athletics, kwik cricket, new age kurling and football. We also regularly enter more than one team into competitions, ensuring that we offer not only competition for competing, but also competition for participation. This enables a larger proportion of children to experience a competitive environment and ensures that they are exceeding the minimum requirement of being active for 60 minutes a day. ​ In conclusion, through our provision of lunchtime and afterschool clubs, sports leaders, community links, timetabled PE sessions and a wide range of competitions for all abilities, we provide at least the minimum CMO guidelines of 60 minutes of activity per day. As a result of this, children in our school have active lifestyles and they understand the importance of looking after their body and being healthy. This is something that they take forward with them as they leave Captain Webb Primary School environment and transition into secondary school.

Financement des primes d'éducation physique et de sport About the PE and sport premium Physical activity has numerous benefits for children and young people’s physical health, as well as their mental wellbeing (increasing self-esteem and emotional wellbeing and lowering anxiety and depression), and children who are physically active are happier, more resilient and more trusting of their peers. Ensuring that pupils have access to sufficient daily activity can also have wider benefits for pupils and schools, improving behaviour as well as enhancing academic achievement. The PE and sport premium has been allocated, by the government, to help primary schools achieve this commitment to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of the PE, physical activity and sport offered through their core budgets. It is allocated directly to schools, so they have the flexibility to use it in the way that works best for their pupils. ​ How we use the PE and sport premium Schools must use the funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of the PE, physical activity and sport they provide. This includes any carried forward funding. This means that we must use the PE and sport premium to: develop or add to the PE, physical activity and sport that our school provides build capacity and capability within the school to ensure that improvements made now are sustainable and will benefit pupils joining the school in future years We should use the PE and sport premium to secure improvements in the following 5 key indicators. Engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity, for example by: providing targeted activities or support to involve and encourage the least active children encouraging active play during break times and lunchtimes establishing, extending or funding attendance of school sports clubs and activities and holiday clubs, or broadening the variety offered adopting an active mile initiative raising attainment in primary school swimming to meet requirements of the national curriculum before the end of key stage 2 - every child should leave primary school able to swim The profile of PE and sport is raised across the school as a tool for whole-school improvement, for example by: actively encourage pupils to take on leadership or volunteer roles that support the delivery of sport and physical activity within the school (such as ‘sports leader’ or peer-mentoring schemes) embedding physical activity into the school day through encouraging active travel to and from school, active break times and holding active lessons and teaching Increased confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and sport, for example by: providing staff with professional development, mentoring, appropriate training and resources to help them teach PE and sport more effectively to all pupils, and embed physical activity across your school hiring qualified sports coaches and PE specialists to work alongside teachers to enhance or extend current opportunities offered to pupils - teachers should learn from coaches the necessary skills to be able to teach these new sports and physical activities effectively Broader experience of a range of sports and physical activities offered to all pupils, for example by: introducing a new range of sports and physical activities to encourage more pupils to take up sport and physical activities partnering with other schools to run sports and physical activities and clubs providing more and broadening the variety of extra-curricular physical activities after school in the 3 to 6pm window, delivered by the school or other local sports organisations Increased participation in competitive sport, for example by: increasing and actively encouraging pupils’ participation in the School Games organising more sport competitions or tournaments within the school coordinating and entering more sport competitions or tournaments across the local area, including those run by sporting organisations ​ Online reporting As part of the funding agreement all schools must publish details of how they spend their PE and sport premium funding. These reports must be published online. ​ Online reporting must clearly show: the amount of PE and sport premium received a full breakdown of how it has been spent the impact the school has seen on pupils’ PE, physical activity, and sport participation and attainment how the improvements will be sustainable in the future We are also required to publish the percentage of pupils within our year 6 cohort who met the national curriculum requirement to: swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres use a range of strokes effectively, for example, front crawl, backstroke and breaststroke perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations ​ Below are our reports Evidencing The Impact of Sports Funding PE & Sports Premium Funding Plan 2024.25 PE & Sports Premium Funding Plan 2023.24 PE & Sports Premium Impact 2023.24 PE & Sports Premium Funding Plan 2022.23 PE & Sports Premium Funding Plan 2021.2022 PE & Sports Premium Funding Plan 2020.2021 Plan d'action pour le financement de la prime sportive scolaire 2019/20 Impact du financement de la prime sportive 2020/21 Review of Impact of Sports Premium Funding 2020/21 Evidencing the Impact of Sports Premium Funding 2021/22

Spelling Curriculum Statement Spelling at Captain Webb ​ Learning to spell has strong links with reading and writing. In reading, the children’s knowledge of the relationship between letters and sounds sets the foundations for them as spellers. Spelling is also a significant aspect of the writing element within the curriculum. If we want children to become confident writers, a strong understanding of spelling and spelling patterns is crucial. As stated in the National Curriculum (2014), it states that ‘Writing down ideas fluently depends on effective transcription: that is, on spelling quickly and accurately through knowing the relationship between sounds and letters (phonics) and understanding the morphology (word structure) and orthography (spelling structure) of words.’ At Captain Webb, we have adopted a whole-school approach to spelling that builds as the children move through the school. Read Write Inc Spelling In years Reception and Year 1 spelling is taught through RWI Phonics. The children in years 2 to 6 have daily spelling sessions which follow the Read Write Inc spelling programme. This programme follows on from the Read Write Inc. Phonics programme with the aim of getting every child to spell effortlessly. It is a standalone programme that has been designed to meet the requirements of the National Curriculum. . There is a daily teacher led spelling session of around 15–20 minutes. Children are assessed during the programme. There are Practice Tests which assess children’s spelling progress using the same format as the statutory assessments in England. This allows us to track individual children’s progress and identify units, words or concepts which we will need to re-teach. How does this programme support your child in learning to spell? ​ RWInc Spelling is an interactive programme which teaches spellings in a fun and engaging way. Each unit is introduced with a short video. It helps children to learn spellings with common patterns and uses rules in order to help them recall spellings as well as teaching exceptions to these rules. A short video to show RWI Spellings in practice. https://youtu.be/CuLGvjOTk6A ​ Daily Sessions consist of: Speed spell which tests children’s knowledge of words from previous units; Spelling Zone with an online introduction to the unit and rules and spelling patterns to be taught that week Dots and Dashes where children count phonemes and the recorded graphemes Rapid Recap of prior learning Word changes –by adding beginnings or endings to words (prefixes and suffixes) Words to Log and learn which helps children to log and learn new or unfamiliar words focusing on spelling patterns and rules. Rules are reviewed and practised through each unit until children can apply the rules in their own writing. Team teach and Four-in-a-row which help children assess their own progress; Jumping red/orange words which tests children’s knowledge of red and orange words (words from the word lists in the National Curriculum in England many of which are not able to be spelt by using sounds- these are often called the common exception , tricky words or High Frequency words). Challenge dictation sentences are available to challenge children to use new spellings. ​ Below, you will find the words banks for each unit of the spelling programme so you can print these and look at them at home with your child. Your child's class teacher will be able to let you know which spelling list they are currently working on at school. ​ Year 2 - Spelling Word Banks Read More Year 3 - Spelling Word Banks Read More Read More Year 4 - Spelling Word Banks Read More Year 5 - Spelling Word Banks Read More Year 6 - Spelling Word Banks Handy Tips for Supporting Your Child with Spelling ​ Practise spelling common exception words regularly. (Known as Red and Orange words) Revisit spellings from previous weeks. Ask your child to explain the rule for the week and get them to give you example words so that you can build up a word bank that can be referred to frequently. Make a note of the high frequency words which you notice your child is spelling wrong (remember that these are quite often RED WORDS and that you ‘Can’t fred a red!’) Play homophone games where you give them a word like right/write and they write you both spellings and show you on the sounds chart which graphemes they would choose to spell them right! Make sure they know which one is which! Play hold a sentence dictation where you give the child a short sentence with one of their spellings in which will help them to understand the meaning of the word and spell and punctuate correctly. Supporting Your Child’s Spelling at Home ​ To help you to support your children at home with their spellings on a weekly basis, the children will be given 6-8 spellings from the unit they are currently on which will follow a set pattern. They will be tested on these at the end of the week. In addition to these your child will also be given 6 red or orange words to learn from the National Curriculum word lists which are words the children are expected to know for their age range.

Art Curriculum Statement Intent Our intent is to provide our children with an engaging, exciting and empowering curriculum that allows them to develop as confident responsible citizens equipped with the skills that will allow them to be successful in our ever-changing world, both in the present and the future. We believe that childhood should be a happy, investigative and enquiring time in our lives. We constantly provide enrichment opportunities (memorable experiences) to engage learners and develop their cultural capital which has been recognised as essential if children are to succeed. We believe that our children should not only reach their best academically, but also develop a thirst for knowledge, foster a love of learning and leave our school with exceptional independent learning skills. We are fully committed to developing each child's unique potential within a secure and caring environment. We use our Captain Webb Values to promote positive attitudes to learning: Listen Encourage Achieve Respect Nurture Our school believes that art is a vital part in children’s education as it can give children the opportunities to express their individual interests, thoughts and ideas. A high-quality art education – along with sequential and progressive lessons - will help to engage, excite and empower our children as well as equipping them with the knowledge and skills to experiment and create their own artwork and crafts. From this children are able to make links with their learning to produce amazing art! As pupils progress throughout our school, they will have a strong understanding of the key art elements (line, tone, texture, colour, pattern, shape, 3D forms), to be able to effectively plan and create pieces of art and evaluate it. Children will also recognise how art has changed throughout the years as they are exposed to many artists and art movements. The art curriculum will develop children’s critical abilities, as well as an understanding of their own and others’ cultural heritages through the study of a diverse range of artists. An example of this is in Year 3, children take inspiration from cubism artist Paul Klee and African American artist Alma Thomas. Finally in Year 4, who look at sculpture and the work of Alberto Giacometti, also study the works of Richard Hunt who is an African American sculptor. In Year 6, children study the Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. All children will be exposed to artists from many cultural heritages from out ‘Art in the Moment’ displays. Implementation The teaching of art at Captain Webb Primary School is based on the National Curriculum and is also linked to class topics to ensure a well-structured approach. Knowledge and Skills that the children will develop, are effectively mapped out across each year group and are progressive throughout the school. Children are given the knowledge to help them understand the context of the artwork as well as the artist they are learning about. With this knowledge and the skills that follow they are able to take inspiration and produce individual pieces of artwork on their own Children are also given the chance to develop their artistic skills by being given opportunities to practise and master them. Every year group at Captain Webb Primary School follows the same art journey: Art Gallery – Looking at many pieces of art from a focus artist Exploration of other artists Introduction to new knowledge or skill (experimentation) Evaluation of mediums or methods Creating a plan Creating their final piece Evaluating Acting upon evaluation Comparing Artists (KS2 Only) Our high-quality art curriculum is supported by a wide variety of art resources and mediums. These are used to help children experiment and develop confidence as they progress through the school. Staff at Captain Webb Primary have also received high quality CPD training on the effective use of sketchbooks. This ensures all children at Captain Webb can use sketchbook effectively. Impact The structure of the art curriculum ensures that children are able to develop their knowledge and understanding of the work of artists, craftspeople and designers from a range of times and cultures and apply this knowledge to their own work. Our curriculum is well thought out and is planned to demonstrate progression. Children learn to understand the key principles of art: line, tone, texture, shape, form, space, pattern, colour, contrast, proportion and perspective. Children have the chance to refine their skills as they progress through year groups. This also supports children having age related expectations at the end of their year. Art is celebrated around the school with artwork being displayed throughout the school e.g. work displayed in classes, sculptures being displayed around the school. We measure the impact of our curriculum through the following methods: Images of the children’s practical learning. Asking the pupils about their learning (pupil voice). Moderation staff meetings where pupil’s books are scrutinised and there is the opportunity for a dialogue between teachers to understand their class’s work. Verbal feedback of work throughout the course of the lessons.

Religious Education Curriculum Statement Religious Education Offer Pupils at Captain Webb Primary School are empowered to develop the hope and perseverance necessary to engage the challenges of learning in the context of school and the wider world. Children are challenged to ask questions about the world around them and to seek the solutions, finding answers themselves. We prepare pupils to be informed, respectful members of society who celebrate diversity and strive to understand others. Teachers engage children with exciting lessons to ensure they access the RE curriculum and enjoy learning about different worldviews. Children are encouraged to work together to deepen their knowledge of the beliefs and practices of religions and worldviews. Children develop informed opinions and an awareness of the implications of religious beliefs and worldviews on individuals, the community and the environment. Children are able to persevere when introduced to different ideas and opinions. Teaching staff seek out every opportunity to ensure that all pupils flourish in RE lessons, developing wisdom and creativity through an ambitious and broad curriculum that challenges expectations, deepens knowledge and develops skills. At Captain Webb Primary School we aim to support pupils so that they become independent and responsible members of society who understand and explore big questions about life, to find out what people believe and what difference this makes to how they live, so they can make sense of their own lives and those of others. We follow the Telford and Wrekin Agreed Syllabus, SACRE (2021), for the teaching of RE. The syllabus aims: To stimulate interest and enjoyment in Religious Education. To prepare pupils to be informed, respectful members of society who celebrate diversity and strive to understand others. To encourage students to develop knowledge of the beliefs and practices of religions and worldviews, to develop informed opinions and an awareness of the implications of religion and worldviews for the individual, the community and the environment. To enable pupils to consider their own responses to questions about the meaning and purpose of life. Knowledge forms the basis for progress in RE. The Telford and Wrekin Agreed Syllabus considers two types of knowledge: substantive (the what) and disciplinary (the how) knowledge. In terms of substantive knowledge, the development of such is reflected through the curriculum units where a religion is revisited and different questions are asked/ knowledge provided as pupils move through school. With regards to disciplinary knowledge in RE we think about the methods (the ways children find out about religion) and the personal disciplinary knowledge, which relates to how the study of religion helps pupils to learn about themselves and their values. Our chosen curriculum enables the children to draw and revisit prior knowledge, through regular retrieval practices and consider the more complex ideas about religion, where knowledge is connected through concepts and part of the children’s long term memory. Four concepts have been identified as Golden thread concepts/words that weave through our whole curriculum enabling links to be made with other more complex concepts/words over time. The Golden Thread Concepts are ‘belief, relationships, worship and identity’. They are all concepts that are revisited as children progress through the school. RE lessons at Captain Webb are inclusive, so everyone is valued and respected – and tolerance and diversity are celebrated. Children with SEND/EAL children are given appropriate support to access the RE curriculum and can respond in different ways. All pupils are encouraged to consider their own values and attitudes and those of others, and provided knowledge and opportunities to understand other people. Scaffolds, sentence stems etc. are used to alleviate boundaries so that each child can access the main religious concepts. Lessons are pitched appropriately to ensure children are able to access the RE curriculum. Assessment is completed in an appropriate way for each child so that they are able to demonstrate their understanding. An understanding of pupils’ needs is demonstrated through the range of ways in which the pupils can achieve the lesson objective SMSC and Religious Education. ​ It is our aim that Religious Education should contribute to the spiritual, moral and social and cultural development of our pupils. Religious Education can help children develop their own informed values, religious and non-religious. Children should learn to respect themselves and be sensitive to the needs and experiences of others, including considering the effect our actions have upon others. Religious Education can also help develop pupils’ understanding of social issues like stewardship of the Earth’s resources, our citizenship within local, national and global communities and a genuine respect for persons and sensitivity to their values and beliefs. Religious Education should also equip pupils to challenge inequalities and disadvantages associated with race, gender, class and ability.

RE is very different now – open, broad and exploring a range of religious and non-religious worldviews. In the UK, parents still have the right to withdraw their children from RE on the grounds that they wish to provide their own RE. This provision will be the parents’ responsibility.6 This right of withdrawal exists for all pupils in all types of school, including schools with and without a religious designation. Students aged 18 or over have the right to withdraw themselves from RE. Parents also have the right to withdraw their child from part of RE, and can do so without giving any explanation.

Writing Curriculum Statement Intent At Captain Webb Primary School, we intend for our children to leave as confident, capable and independent writers, who not only understand the purpose and importance of writing but also enjoy the writing process. We intend for children to use their writing skills across the curriculum. Our overarching principle about learning is: ‘Knowing more and remembering more’. We have designed our curriculum so that more time is given to embed key knowledge, make connections and be ready for the next stage of a child’s learning journey. Through their growing knowledge and understanding, we want all children to be able to communicate their knowledge, ideas and emotions confidently through their writing. Unapologetically ambitious, our writing curriculum focuses on excellence by learning from outstanding writers. We want our children to draw upon a rich exposure to quality literature so that throughout the writing process, they can write as a reader and read as a writer. We recognise the importance of nurturing a culture where children take pride in their writing, can write clearly and accurately and adapt their language and style for a range of contexts, audiences and purposes. We believe in setting high standards in the presentation of writing along with setting the important foundations in spelling and grammar. ​ Implementation (Planning an inclusive curriculum). Our inclusive knowledge-based curriculum plans for success. We teach the National Curriculum, supported by a clear skills and knowledge progression. This ensures that skills and knowledge are built on year by year and sequenced appropriately to maximise learning for all children. Within English lessons, we are teaching all children to have a deep and secure understanding of the concepts that they are being taught. In order to do this, our curriculum is designed to reduce cognitive load by ensuring we structure and design lessons in small coherent steps, which organically allows opportunity for the promotion of retention. This allows for an inclusive learning environment where all children are supported to transfer learning from short-term to long-term memory. Please see the link below for the whole school writing progression knowledge and skills grids. ​ ​ Spoken language is the first and most important resource that young writers have. Our writing curriculum, places quality literature and spoken language at the forefront of all writing units. Children need to have a wide experience of story, knowledge of written language and how this works and knowledge of how print works as a means of communication. Young children can compose long before they can transcribe and many teaching approaches at this stage focus on easing the burden of transcription and enabling children to compose more freely. Therefore, initially a child needs the help and support of another person, usually an adult, in order to write conventionally. This support can be gradually withdrawn as transcription becomes easier and the child increases in independence, finding their voice as a writer. ​ Our teaching of writing across the school is linked to a class text, carefully chosen to inspire and excite the children. All writing units will start with a stimulus, which could be a high quality reading text or a memorable experience. Our teacher’s plan exciting memorable experiences every half term. These class visits provide the children with meaningful experiences to support them in writing for a range of purposes and illustrate how their writing skills can be applied to real life contexts. ​ ​ Children are expected to transfer their key topic knowledge and vocabulary into their writing and vice versa to transfer their spelling, grammar and punctuation knowledge into their topic work. We expect the high standards for writing in Literacy lessons to be evident within the work in all books. At Captain Webb Primary School, we believe that writing is strengthened by instilling a love for reading within our pupils. ​ In EYFS, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 English is taught on a daily basis. Every year group has a Yearly Curriculum Map that outlines where narrative or non-narrative are taught and links to other curriculum areas such as reading and humanities. Detailed Medium Term planning supports teachers to plan a sequence of progressive weekly lessons and over time, giving the children time to master new concepts. Within this document, key objectives and vocabulary are outlined.​ ​ Whole School Writing Progression Grids 24 - 25 2 Year Old Provision Read More Pre-School Read More Reception Read More Year 1 Read More Year 2 Read More Year 3 Read More Year 4 Read More Year 5 Read More Year 6 Read More Medium Term Plan Example The Writing Process We organise intended learning into units of writing. These group the knowledge, skills and understanding that we want children to remember, do and use. We start with a high quality and inspiring text , identifying points within the text at which a piece of extended writing could be crafted, building lessons from this point up. For extended pieces, teachers use key skill checklists to support the writing process. ​ • PRIOR ASSESSMENT & TARGET SETTING – Using the previous writing unit to determine what the pupils need to develop, gaps in learning and any objectives that need specifically focusing on in this next unit. ​ • GENRE – This is the text type. We consider what we want pupils to write and why (purpose, audience and intended impact). ​ • CONTEXT – This includes any hooks into writing and any knowledge or experience that pupils require to write a particular piece. (Quality texts, memorable experiences or cross curricular links) ​ • TEXT / READINIG ANALYSIS – This requires effective models of the genre to build up pupils’ understanding of texts in this particular style. Opportunities to unpick modelled texts, consider the author’s choice of language and vocabulary and identify any SPAG features. ​ • ORGANISING IDEAS – This may include speaking and listening opportunities including drama. For example – retelling a text orally, hot seating a character, acting in role. Children will begin to organise ideas for their writing through lists, flow charts and / or writing frames. Teachers should be careful with the format used so we don’t limit ideas to small boxes which are not useful to follow when composing. Tools and approaches should enable pupils to plan ideas for the composition and the vocabulary they will use within the writing. Scaffolds to support this are useful. • VOCABULARY DEVELOPMENT – Consider words that will support pupils to improve their composition, draw attention to any taught spelling patterns. These should be taught within context with opportunities for pupils to apply within the composition of sentence structures. • SENTENCE COMPOSITION – Plan for sentence composition linked to the genre type. Composition practice should link to the end outcome piece so pupils can draw on this practice to support independent composition. Sentence types, grammar knowledge and skills should be taken from the progression document. • PUNCTUATION – Plan for punctuation linked to the genre. Practice composition should link to the end outcome piece so pupils can draw on this practice to support independent composition. Knowledge and skills should be taken from the progression document and assessment of pupils’ previous writing. • MODELLED WRITING – Teachers usually prepare the models to support the compositional and transcriptional skills, and component knowledge being developed in the sequence. Using the model teachers diagnose the model with pupils so that they understand how this was composed. This builds their understanding of what a good one looks like. These models of writing are displayed on our classroom washing lines. • SHARED WRITING – Using the planning and model how to compose the piece (parts of the piece) with the pupils. Teacher modelling is really important to develop writer’s voice and promote thinking. (Thinking out loud – articulating the processes of a writer.) • GUIDED WRITING – Working with groups of pupils to specifically guide their writing skills. Assessment is key to delivering guided writing. Identifying the needs of the pupils, for example developing transcriptional skills for our lowest attaining pupils and providing challenge for our higher attainers. For example: teachers to guide writing to understand how to critically shape sentences for effect. • INDEPENDENT WRITING - Pupils compose their own piece. This can be in parts as they work through paragraphs of the text or as a full piece. Redrafting and editing can be of sections to lead to more focused impact. • RE-DRAFT AND EDIT – Teacher modelling of these skills is really important. Pupils are often not shown how to undertake this process effectively and therefore it can lose impact. After composition pupils may redraft sections of the writing to up level skills and improve the piece. Editing writing – pupils read through the writing and make correction in the writing. The pupils use the COMB materials to build their independence with proof – reading skills. • PUBLISHED PIECE – Writing can be published in a range of ways. It is really important to develop pride in writing and allow pupils opportunities to make choices on how they want to publish material. • APPLY TO A NEW CONTEXT – Pupils should have the opportunity to apply the style of writing to new context as this allows them to practise the skills. Teachers must ensure pupils have the knowledge to write in this context. Pupils should use and apply taught skills for subjects across the curriculum. ​ • ASSESSMENT & FEEDBACK – Teachers should analyse pupils’ writing against the writing moderation documents / termly targets for the year group. They should provide feedback to pupils on their successes and next steps. (Target Setting) ​ Staff follow our Marking and Feedback policy, to provide pupils with live feedback as much as possible so that children are actively involved in drafting, editing and improving their writing. From an early age, children are encouraged to proofread their work carefully to check for spelling and punctuation errors. By the time children get to Key Stage 2, they will plan, draft and edit independently, enabling them to fully take part in the writing process. ​ Modelled Writing using our washing lines. The Importance of Vocabulary We recognise the vital importance of exposing our pupils to a rich and varied vocabulary and understand that their acquisition and command of vocabulary are key to their learning and progress across the whole curriculum. We use model texts and class novels to teach vocabulary in context and encourage discussion around word choices when writing. Dictionaries, thesauruses and word mats are readily available throughout all writing lessons. Guided writing sessions are used to target specific needs of both groups and individuals. All children are given focus spellings and are encouraged to integrate these into their writing. The weekly spellings are taken from the spelling rules being taught in their discrete RWI spelling session. (Refer to the spelling section below for more information.) The children are given the opportunity to write at length daily and all pupils complete an extended, independent piece of writing at the end of a unit of work known as their hot write. Teachers use the hot writes to measure the progress made within a unit of writing and targets are set in readiness for the next piece of writing. Here is an example from Year 2 Staff follow our Marking and Feedback policy, to provide pupils with live feedback as much as possible so that children are actively involved in drafting, editing and improving their writing. From an early age, children are encouraged to proofread their work carefully to check for spelling and punctuation errors. By the time children get to Key Stage 2, they will plan, draft and edit independently, enabling them to fully take part in the writing process. Early Years Our curriculum maps are carefully planned to have breadth and depth and introduce quality core concepts, bodies of knowledge and key concepts which will be built on in Year 1. The ambitious curriculum is a carefully devised sequential offer to ensure the children become fluent in essential foundational knowledge necessary for writing. This enables our pupils to know more and remember more ready for future learning. End points are identified in the EYFS writing progression document. The teachers plan effective writing units based on high quality writing texts. The plans include rich opportunities (through self-initiated learning and taught lessons) for pupils to develop their understanding of phonics application through Read, Write, Inc. Their writing involves transcription (spelling and handwriting) and composition of sounds that they have previously been taught - articulating ideas and structuring them in speech, before writing. Reception and Year 1 are taught spelling patterns as part of their daily phonics lesson. ​ ​ EYFS Curriculum At Captain Webb, we identify children who need additional support and provide intervention in the most effective and efficient way that we can. We run phonics, reading and writing intervention groups and ensure that our lessons are effectively differentiated to maximise each child’s potential. Spelling ​ The ability to write ideas down fluently requires a good understanding of spelling. In Reception and Key Stage 1, we follow the Read Write Inc Phonics programme to teach pupils how to write phonemes as graphemes. Please click on this link to find out more about Read Write Inc Phonics Spelling. From Year 2 to Year 6, we use the follow on programme Read Write Inc. Spelling. These schemes ensure full coverage of, and progression within the National Curriculum requirements. To find out more about the Read Write Inc Spellings programme please click on this link. Read Write Inc Spelling Programme Handwriting Handwriting is taught in line with the National Curriculum objectives. In the Early Years, pupils complete fine motor activities to develop hand/finger strength and are taught how to hold a pencil correctly. In Reception, all pupils are taught how to form their letters correctly using the Read Write Inc Phonics programme. For more information, please click on the links below. Read Write Inc. Phonics From Year 2 onwards, through daily handwriting lessons, we begin to explicitly teach correct joins, consistent letter size and clear ascenders and descenders. We follow the Nelson Handwriting scheme. Additional support is given through handwriting interventions where needed. Please refer to the handwriting policy below for more information on how handwriting is taught at Captain Webb Handwriting Policy 24 - 25 Impact In order to identify the impact our curriculum is having on our pupils; we check the extent to which learning has become permanently embedded in children’s long-term memory in addition to looking for excellence in their outcomes. When undertaking these we ask the following key questions: • How well do pupils remember the content that they have been taught? • Do books and pupil discussions radiate excellence? • Does learning ‘travel’ with pupils and can they deliberately reuse it in more sophisticated contexts? Each year group has writing assessment criteria that aligns with the whole school writing progression map. We make assessment judgements termly. Three pieces of writing will be assessed every term throughout the year using the assessment grids. These grids match the termly targets set out in the year groups progression map. Evidence of the core knowledge and skills for each term will demonstrate if a child is working towards, at or above age related expectations. Teachers record the summative assessments on O Track. These assessments are moderated by SLT each term. Formative and Summative Assessments End of unit assessments (Hot Writes) End of term assessments (3 pieces of writing evidence) Internal Moderation of termly assessments.
