Essential Life Experiences
At Joy Lane Primary School, we firmly believe that our School's curriculum should not only revolve around the academic, subject-based requirements laid out in the DfE's National Curriculum statements. After extensive consultation with the children, parents, teachers, support staff and governors we have identified eleven broad areas which we believe are 'essential childhood experiences'.
Please see below some of the recent ways that we have ensured that our children have memorable and enriching learning opportunities:
