It includes not only the formal requirements of the National Curriculum and Early Years Foundation Stage Framework, but also takes account of the learning opportunities that children can experience as well as a range of activities that school organises in order to enrich the experiences of our children. It develops the independence and responsibility of all pupils.

The curriculum will develop in order to take account of an ever-changing world. Our school aims to teach pupils how to grow into positive, responsible people, who can work and co-operate with others while developing knowledge and skills, so that they achieve their full potential.

Values
Our curriculum is underpinned by the principle value of providing high quality educational experiences that are focused on continued improvement in whole school standards and the development of independent and responsible learners. We strive to make our children passionate about learning and make their education as meaningful and relevant as possible. Every child is valued as an individual; we aim to nurture well rounded, respected and confident children who will develop skills for life-long learning.
At John T Rice Infant School, our values permeate all areas of school life and are reflected in the school’s motto; “Aim High and Shine”. We take our responsibility to prepare children for life in modern Britain very seriously and ensure that the fundamental British Values are introduced, discussed and lived out through the ethos and work of our school. Our school values the way in which all children are unique, and the curriculum promotes respect for the views of each individual child, as well as for people of all cultures. We value the spiritual and moral development of each person, as well as their intellectual and physical growth. The curriculum is organised so that school promotes co-operation and understanding between all members of our community. Each child in the school is respected for who they are, and they are treated with fairness and honesty. School aims to enable each person to be successful and provide equal opportunities for all children in school. The environment is valued, and staff aim, through the curriculum, to teach respect for our world, and caring for it for future generations, as well as our own.
