Millom Infant School
Every child a learner, we all learn together
Our curriculum is currently undergoing a huge overhaul to enable us to provide the best possible education for our children.
We use a mixture of paid-for schemes and bespoke medium term plans across all our subjects. The documents below give only a flavour of the broad, balanced curriculum we have in place, but this is still very much under development.
Phonics
Across school we use the 'Read, Write, Inc' phonics scheme. This scheme incorporates all the sounds and blends that children need to know in order to be fully prepared for the Phonics Screening Check at the end of Year 1.
For more information on this scheme, click here, or speak to our Phonics and Early Reading lead, Mrs Preston.
SEND
For information on how our curriculum caters for children with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND), please look at our Accessibility Plan which can be found below.
Kidsafe UK
We are very proud to be a registered Kidsafe School. Our qualified Kidsafe Tutors are Mrs Loughran and Mrs Stocks (Safeguarding Governor) and deliver the full Kidsafe programmes to all our children throughout each academic year. If you would like to find out more about Kidsafe UK, please click on the following link.
Forest Schools
Each term a year group visits Foxwood to take part in the Forest School programme. Children can experience outdoor learning activities lead by Mrs. J. Date, our qualified Forest School leader. We make the most of the local environment and this programme enables us to visit and learn about local woodland, make dens and toast marshmallows!
It is very important that children dress according to the weather. A list of suitable clothing and footwear will be handed out with a consent form. There is also a charge of £1.00 per week to help cover the cost of the transport.
If you would like to know more about these sessions, please contact Mrs. Jones or Mrs Date.
