Lift Four Dwellings Primary is a 2 form-entry primary school, in the heart of Quinton, Birmingham with over 300 pupils on roll. Pupils from 3yrs to 11yrs come here to learn, explore, investigate, discover, build aspirations, question and to solve problems through an engaging and challenging curriculum and school life.

We work to maintain an open and respectful dialogue with our parents, carers and other partners in order to benefit the children.

We also work to develop the 'school within the community' and work with our partners in the Lift Schools cluster and other Local Authority partners and businesses to achieve our aims.

Building trust, working together and keeping our vision for the school and our children is always at the forefront of our planning, discussions and decision making. We are here for our children; it is our responsibility to do our best for them, to care for their needs and to support our parents and carers in the enormous and exciting task of raising young people in an ever more complex and global society. We know we have a privileged place in that process and our promise to our parents, children and other stakeholders is that we will do our best for each child and use our resources wisely to achieve our goals.

Our curriculum

At Lift Four Dwellings Primary, we are committed to delivering a complete and cohesive curriculum which allows for opportunities to use and apply various skills and a variety of contexts thereby deepening and evolving pupil’s understanding over time. We believe that a primary curriculum should be broad and balanced, and should allow the pupils to experience a wide range of activities.

We have achieved this by creating a thorough Curriculum document which promotes links between subjects and has trips and experiences built into it. Curriculum content is taken from the new National Curriculum in England 2014 document. English and Maths are taught with a focused approach in discrete lessons and then these key skills are then applied within other contexts when teaching the Foundation Curriculum. Our Religious Education Curriculum is taken from the Birmingham Agreed Syllabus for RE.

Planning

Where possible, the Foundation Curriculum links subjects through a skills and knowledge based cross-curricular approach. The document below details the skills which are to be taught by each class teacher throughout the year. These skills have been taken directly from the new National Curriculum in England 2015 document and subject co-ordinators have ensured that there is progression within their throughout the school. Medium term plans (for Foundation subjects) or weekly plans (for English and Maths) are written from these half term overviews which detail the lessons themselves.

Closing the Gap

In order to ensure that pupils' basic skills are embedded, it is necessary (at times) for the pupils to complete interventions during curriculum time, in order to provide small group focused learning which will tackle a specific barrier to learning (which may be either an academic or pastoral barrier). These interventions are designed by the class teacher, phase leader, SENDco or pastoral manager to address a specific issue and are intended to be designed as a short term removal from the Standard Curriculum.

Assessment

English and Maths are assessed by the teacher through the use of Formative assessment techniques which enable the teacher to continually adapt the teaching to suit the needs of the pupils. These subjects are then assessed summatively through the use of ‘Age Related’ tests (Yrs 3 - 5), National assessments (SAT’s - Yr 2 & Yr6, Phonics - Yr 1) and other assessment materials (e.g. Pm Benchmarks, Target Tracker statements etc).

Assessment Tasks are built into the Foundation Curriculum, which enable the teacher to assess the pupils achievements against a particular skill in a subject, are built into the medium term planning. All children are targeted to meet age-related expectations (at least) by the end of the academic year.

Our Early Year and Foundation Stage Curriculum

In the Early Years and Foundation Stage (EYFS) there are seven areas of learning - 3 prime and 4 specific. Each area has associated Early Learning Goals (ELGs).
