Curriculum
At Rayne, we have designed a bespoke curriculum for every subject that is relevant to our pupils. Every subject is ambitious, engaging and relevant. In science, given that increasingly, students decline to take up science for A Levels, because they do not see its relevance, the curriculum at Rayne, makes science engaging and specifically focusses on science capital (the relevance of science to our everyday lives). Examples are highlighted in most lessons. For example, in year 5, when separating solids, we make links with the milling of wheat in flour mills. We also link history topics to our local heritage, exploring Roman settlements, Norman fortifications and lives of WWI soldiers and suffragettes in and from the village.
It is also important to us to deliver our curriculum with high expectations, ensuring that no child is left behind. We are therefore focussed on six core principles for curriculum delivery and are ensuring that all teaching staff are being upskilled in these areas. Initially, we are focussing on developing oracy and vocabulary across all subject areas and we are excited about the impact of new initiatives on improving the outcomes for children.
