Online Safety
At Woodhouse, safeguarding our pupils remains highly important and the introduction of home learning and remote teaching brings with it greater challenges. Children will increasingly be using social networks to reach out to others and with that there will be an increased risk to fake news and online harms including grooming, radicalisation, exploitation, and bullying. All these issues could impact on their mental health and well-being. This is a time when many young people will be vulnerable and unfortunately, the potential for exploitation will be at its highest.
The UK Safer internet Centre has identified the following online risk categories;
- Behaviour: sharing too much information
- Content: age-inappropriate or unreliable content or fake news
- Contact: strangers, bullies, groomers or radicalisers can contact children
- Commercialism and financial exploitation: hidden costs of advertising in apps, games and websites
- Extremism and radicalisation

Home Learning (New)
Each week, a new home learning mat will be added with a range of resources to supplement the mat on our new dedicated Home Learning page. You can also access the previous home learning mats in the Home Learning Archive.
You can find information that is specific to your child’s year group (including daily maths lessons) and videos that will explain how to access useful sections on Purple Mash. Additional resources may be added to your child’s year group folder to help with home learning and homework throughout the year.
Early Years Foundation Stage
The staff deliver a framework called 'Early Years outcomes’ and ‘Early Learning Goals’. The focus is on three prime areas of learning:
- Communication and language
- Physical development
- Personal, social and emotional development
and four specific areas of learning:
- Literacy
- Mathematics
- Understanding the world
- Expressive arts and design
Observations are carried out continually to monitor each child’s progress throughout the course of the year and the staff compile a wealth of information on each child to reflect their ‘Learning Journey’ throughout their reception year. This is shared at our parent consultation meetings and is available for parents to view online.
Year 1 and beyond
Once our children move into Year 1 they begin the transition to the National Curriculum. This consists of the core subjects of English, Maths, Science and Computing. There are also foundation subjects included in the curriculum: Art and Design, Design and Technology, Geography, History, French (KS2 only), Music and Physical Education. The school follows the RE syllabus recommended by the Standing Advisory Council for Religious Education (see below). A bespoke PSCHE curriculum has been developed in response to promoting our pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural (SMSC) development and links closely to the school’s values. Each year group learns about pertinent issues linking to the following:
Be United, Be Creative, Be Safe, Be Caring, Be Bold and Be Healthy
Within the SMSC element of the curriculum, and covertly across many areas of school, we seek to promote the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.
We deliver a curriculum built on theme - based learning to enthuse and engage our children. This curriculum includes lots of shared talk and opportunities to carry out research. Opportunities to make links are maximised and cross-curricular learning (CCL) is an intrinsic part of provision for all year groups.
The Foundation Curriculum: Cross – Curricular Learning (CCL)
We aim to provide a curriculum which is rich and broad and enables our pupils to achieve high standards, both academically and socially. We want our children to enjoy their learning; develop enquiring minds, develop the personal qualities they need to be good citizens of the world, and develop a sense of their own nationality and culture, at the same time developing a profound respect for the nationalities and cultures of others. More information on the content of the curriculum is detailed on this website below by subject and year group.
