Values
Our curriculum encompasses not only the formal requirements of the National Curriculum, but goes beyond the experiences of the classroom to ensure that our children are exposed to the richest and most varied opportunities that we can provide. Reading and developing a rich and varied vocabulary underpin every aspect of our curriculum.
The curriculum at Shelton is further enhanced by our commitment to children’s well-being and a values-based education, including the Fundamental British Values and Protected Characteristics. Through these, we provide learning experiences which are the building blocks for our future collaborators, innovators, leaders and, more than anything else, young people who understand what it means to be human.

Curriculum Organisation
Children study the core subjects of reading, writing and maths during their morning sessions, with this work and knowledge often linking to their wider foundation subject learning during the afternoon.
Children learn the foundation subjects by studying 3 term-long topics each year with a history, science and geography focus to ensure that children obtain a broad range of knowledge and skills.
Our foundation subject curriculum knowledge content is split into a 2 year curriculum.
