At Milton Court Primary Academy we follow the 2014 National Curriculum.  We use a number of resources to assist in the delivery of these key skills.  This page provides full details of the approach we adopt in order to deliver the curriculum.  Parents who wish to have further information relating to the curriculum should contact the class teacher in the first instance.

English

At Milton Court we use quality texts to teach English, focusing on a variety of genres across the year to ensure adequate coverage of writing skills.  This ensures that all writing has purpose and fully engages the children whilst exposing them to the rich literary culture that exists in modern Britain.

Phonics

At Milton Court we use the Letters and Sounds Programme to deliver phonics, the full document detailing this is reached by clicking the below link.

Maths

At Milton Court we have introduced a Mastery approach to mathematics.  We follow the long term planning from the White Rose Maths Hub and supplement teaching with a range of additional materials and resources.

Science

Milton Court uses the Kent Scheme for Science.  This approach is very practical in nature and is aligned to the 2014 National Curriculum.

 

As a whole school, we cover the foundation elements of the curriculum using a creative approach based around the "Cornerstones Curriculum".

 

The Cornerstones Curriculum is a creative and thematic approach to learning that is mapped to the 2014 Primary National Curriculum to ensure comprehensive coverage of national expectations.

 

We believe children learn better when they are encouraged to use their imagination and apply their learning to engaging contexts. Our curriculum will provide lots of learning challenges throughout the academic year that will require children to solve problems, apply themselves creatively and express their knowledge and understanding effectively across the curriculum.

Religious Education

Milton Court uses the Love to Celebrate units from Cornerstones to cover the programmes of study for Religious Education.  This approach ensures that the children experience the major world religions and the festivals that they celebrate across their time in school.  These units also ensure that all the statutory requirements for RE are met.
