Curriculum Intent
Our mission statement, ‘Happy Learners, Aiming High’ reflects the intent of our curriculum that every child makes good progress and should develop their full potential academically, morally, culturally, spiritually, mentally and physically in their learning journey through Caldecott School.
Our curriculum provides a range of rich and diverse opportunities for children to develop as independent, confident and successful learners who have high aspirations and who know how to make a positive contribution to their community and to the wider society.
Our curriculum is broad, balanced, cohesive and connected and it builds on children’s learning over time. In our curriculum, there is a key focus on developing children’s learning behaviours so that they are well prepared for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of later life.

Homework
At Caldecott we support the principle of working with parents/carers for the benefit of the children and therefore we have a homework policy that has been agreed by staff, governors and parents/carers. Our teachers will provide homework in accordance with this policy.
We recognise that children who are supported and encouraged at home produce better results in school so we will ask all parents/carers to read and share books with their children and support them in all other homework tasks.
