Curriculum Statement 

At Bournes Green Infant School we aim to inspire a life-long love of learning. 

At every opportunity pupils are challenged, questioned and encouraged to excel. In accordance with the National Curriculum and Early Years Foundation Stage, the curriculum at Bournes Green Infant School provides exciting and creative opportunities in order for all our pupils to learn and achieve. Our curriculum has been planned to be broad and balanced and relevant to our children. 

We follow the Collins Big Cat Phonics for Letters and Sounds reading scheme. Alongside their scheme book the children are encouraged to read a range of genres and texts and develop a love of reading. Our phonics teaching is based on Letters and Sounds which is a progressive phonics programme. The scheme is adapted to ensure it meets the needs of all learners.

To find out further information please contact the school office or speak to your child’s class teacher.
