Our Curriculum

Our Vision is to develop a learning community where all children enthusiastically
participate, excel and are proud of their achievements across the curriculum.
At Tipton Green Junior School we aim to provide all children with a curriculum which
is broad, well balanced and above all stimulates the children to learn. We promote
the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of pupils and seek to
prepare them for opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of later life.
When planning our curriculum we consider our principles, local issues, cultural
capital, subject topics and high expectations for all our pupils. We deliver the
programmes of study that meet the requirements of the National Curriculum 2014.
The subjects taught are English, Mathematics, Science, Art and Design, Computing,
Design and Technology, Languages, Geography, History, Music, Physical Education
and PSHE. The teaching of Religious Education is statutory in all schools and we
follow the Sandwell Agreed Syllabus for Religious Education supplemented by
‘Discovery RE’.
English and Mathematics teaching are a fundamental part of each day and children
may be organised into "sets" for each of these subjects in order to better
accommodate the varying needs of children. Teachers seek to make as many cross
curricular links as possible so that skills taught in these subjects can be applied in a
range of contexts.
The thread of independence runs through all that we do.
Through a positive and caring environment, we provide the opportunity for every child
to reach their full potential in all areas of the curriculum.
