Article 3: The best interests of a child must be a top priority in all things that affect children.
At Poplar Farm School, teaching and learning is designed through our Enriched Curriculum, driven by the need to prepare our children for lifelong learning. The children learn through relevant first-hand experiences that link around carefully chosen themes, delivered in a learning question style, with books and literacy themes at the core, developing wonder and curiosity. We encourage direct discovery learning, where we provide an environment and ethos that encourages children to discover their own answers through problem solving. Each learning question is used as a vehicle for delivering the National Curriculum, the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) development statements and the Lincolnshire Agreed Syllabus for Religious Education in a meaningful way.
Article 28: Every child has the right to an education.
Our Enriched Curriculum strives to deliver a twenty-first century education that will equip our children with the skills required to be independent, responsible citizens. We work in partnership with our parents, and involve them with their child’s learning journey throughout school. Clubs, community links and our Rights Respecting work all contribute to our vision to develop the whole child during their time with us at Poplar Farm School.
