Enhancements to our curriculum are provided through a variety of different experiences and opportunities to enable children to further develop their learning, make progress, build their cultural capital and achieve success within the EYFS educational programmes and the Key Stage 1 and 2 curriculum.
We use our school and local environments to provide opportunities to enhance our curriculum such as using our outdoor spaces for science learning, the local park for geography fieldwork, or local venues such as the Holst Museum for history learning as well as taking advantage of Cheltenham’s Literature and Science Festivals where possible.
As children progress through our school, they also benefit from a range of visits further afield. This may be to museums, the seaside for geography fieldwork or the highlight of their time at Dunalley their residential experience in year 6. These are carefully planned to enhance our curriculum and provide a breadth of opportunity and experience.
Our children also benefit from a range of visitors coming into school to share their passion and expertise. This may be through visiting authors, theatre groups and history workshops for example.
The following table provides an insight into the range of opportunities and experiences that our children embrace during their Dunalley journey.
