Braunston Primary School - Curriculum Items

MESSAGE FROM OUR HEADTEACHER

Welcome to our school website. Braunston is a happy, caring school with fabulous children and hardworking, dynamic staff. In our last OFSTED inspection (November 2022) we were graded as good in every category.

Our school vision is to ensure that all of our children are ‘learning for life in all its fullness’. This means that we have high expectations in all areas of the curriculum and work hard to provide the children with a variety of experiences that promote excitement and wonder through trips, visitors to school and activities both within our local community and further afield.

At Braunston we believe that the relationship between home and school is one of partnership, support and co-operation so that every child has the opportunity to develop to their full potential academically, socially, physically and spiritually.

We are part of the Peterborough Diocese Education Trust and our foundation as a Christian school is very important to us. Everything we do in school is firmly rooted in the values of Relationships; Reconciliation; Responsibility; Respect and Reverence; Resilience and Reflection. Our children learn these values.

They also learn to respect and understand the values of other religions and those without faith. This is reflected in our last Diocese inspection (February 2017) when we were graded as outstanding in every category.

The best way to find out more about our caring, nurturing school is to come and visit us. We are happy to show you around and encourage you to talk to us and ask any questions you may have. We look forward to meeting you.

Braunston school’s music curriculum strives to inspire creativity, self – expression and encourages children on their musical journeys as well as giving them opportunities to collaborate and connect with others. We aim to encourage a lifelong love of music by exposing the children to diverse musical experiences and igniting a passion for music. Our music curriculum is entirely embedded in the National Curriculum and is ambitious in what we want the children to learn and remember. At Braunston School, we use Charanga to support our music teaching. This is an on line tool which uses interactive resources, visual aids, hands on musical experiences and the interrelated dimensions of music as the underpinning focus of the units of work. The areas of music, which we cover, are outlined to the left hand side of this page in our music long- term plan. We also have strong links with NMPAT, who provide various musical instrument teaching as a whole class or on an individual basis. To support the teaching of singing, we have a weekly whole school singing assembly and the children sing during Collective Worship. The school choir is open to Key Stage 2 children, who perform at both regional and local concerts. Below are some examples of instruments, which are taught and used throughout the school.
