OUR CREATIVE CURRICULUM
Intent
We aim to nurture, challenge and inspire in everything we do at Sauncey Wood, in and outside the classroom.  Our Curriculum is designed to be ambitious, flexible, inclusive and engaging where children build on their prior learning, developing skills they need to succeed in life.   We encourage children to use our learning powers; Co-operation, Resourcefulness, Reflection, Perseverance and Curiosity to be the best they can be and inspire them through creative approaches which fuel a desire to learn.  Our intention is ensure that each and every one of children, regardless of any potential barriers to learning, receive an excellent education, make outstanding progress, become  life-long Curious learners and are prepared for an ever changing world.
