Welcome to the Cottesbrooke Infant & Nursery School curriculum section.
We are proud to offer a broad, balanced and enriching curriculum that meets the needs of all our children and reflects the diversity of our school community. Our curriculum is designed to spark curiosity, nurture confidence, and give every child the best possible start in life.
At Cottesbrooke, we have high expectations for all learners. From our hands-on science lessons to our mastery approach in maths, we provide rich, meaningful learning experiences that help children know more, remember more and enjoy more.
Our vision to be a Caring, Inspiring, Nurturing and Successful school is at the heart of our curriculum. It guides the way we teach, the relationships we build, and the values we promote every day through our CUBS Values:
Caring and polite
Understanding we are all equal
Brilliant learners
Stay safe
Reading is the golden thread that runs through everything we do.
We teach phonics through the Read Write Inc programme, delivered with consistency and fidelity, ensuring children build strong early reading skills. Alongside this, we foster a love of reading through daily story times, rich texts, and a reading culture that celebrates books and language.
We believe that every child can succeed, and we work in partnership with parents, carers and the wider community to make this a reality. By building strong relationships and understanding each child as an individual, we create a learning environment where children feel safe, included and ready to thrive
