Welcome to Chaigeley School.

Curriculum Overview

At Chaigeley School, we offer both a formal and informal curriculum to support the diverse needs of our students. Our enriched learning experience not only covers many areas of the National Curriculum but also fosters a love of learning by breaking down barriers to academic success. Our ultimate goal is to equip our students with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to thrive in the next stages of their lives. By the end of their time at our school, we strive to ensure that our students are more independent, knowledgeable, skilled, and happy, and have a strong belief in their own potential.

Lower School Curriculum

The Lower School at Chaigeley provides a comprehensive and enriched curriculum that emphasises the development of key skills such as speaking and listening, reading, writing, and mathematics across all subject areas. We prioritise reading by conducting daily Guided Reading lessons.

Our curriculum is delivered using nurturing principles that prioritise emotional growth and provide a balanced and structured learning environment that fosters security, routine, clear boundaries, and repetitive learning opportunities. Children are exposed to a wide range of subjects, including Design Technology (Resistant Materials and Food Technology), Art, Music, Craft, ICT, and P.E. Lessons. We also offer visits and trips that complement our topic areas to enhance our students’ learning experiences.

We provide homework on an individual basis, which includes weekly spelling, reading, and topic-related learning. In line with the new National Curriculum implemented by the Government from September 2014, all of our planning reflects the changes.
