At Rokesly Infant and Nursery School we follow DFE Development matters in Reception and Nursery classes, and the Primary National Curriculum in all a subject areas in Key Stage 1 classes.

We regularly review our curriculum to ensure that National Curriculum subjects are effectively covered. We go beyond the National Curriculum at Rokesly. We work to develop your child’s knowledge and understanding, but also develop their learning and life skills. We work to ensure our subject lessons are creative and engaging for all, taking advantage of the exciting opportunities offered both in and out of the classroom. We work hard to ensure our teaching reflects the diversity of our community and the interests of our children.

Children develop quickly in the early years and a child’s experiences before the age of five have a major impact on their future life chances. At Rokesly we recognize that every child deserves the best possible start in life and we provide the rich learning environment, opportunities and support that enables them to fulfil their potential.

Infant Year 1 and 2 Curriculum maps

At Rokesly we organise our teaching of subject knowledge into themes. We use the Primary National Curriculum as our benchmark to sequence a progression of skills while also making links between different subjects. The content we teach at Rokesly creates readiness for your child’s future learning.

Knowledge Organisers

At Rokesly we use knowledge organisers to support the children to learn and recall important facts, vocabulary and concepts that will support them as they move on to their next stage of learning. Our knowledge organisers are a summary, rather than a comprehensive list of all that the children could know. Children use them effectively to practise, study and develop links between different facts and ideas and we encourage you to use them at home, too. They are linked to each of our half-termly curriculum themes:
