We believe that, above all else, our curriculum focusses on the broader development of each individual child, extending beyond the academic and enabling them to develop and discover their talents as an individual person.

By delving into our curriculum areas, you will see that personal development is at the heart of what we do. This page is a useful summary that covers the breadth of what is on offer at Green Oaks Primary Academy.

School Values

Respect

Trust

Politeness

Resilience

Friday Celebration Assemblies
Each Friday afternoon, we celebrate children from each class. There is a Star of the Week, Maths Master, Remarkable Reader, Wonderful Writer and Good to be Green Behaviour, with parents and carers invited to celebrate with us. We also celebrate each class who has collectively attended over 97%, and finish with the announcement of the winning house with the House Point Cup.

The Daily Mile
We are in the infancy of introducing the Daily Mile to activate our minds prior to learning and enhancing our physical and mental health.

Cultural Enrichment
We have mapped out our offer of trips and experiences across the Academy to cover a wide range of curriculum areas.

Residential Trips
We have reintegrated residentials into our curriculum offer recently to encourage independence and self-reliance in our pupils.

Our PSHE offer
We use the Jigsaw scheme of work, but adapt this to ensure that within our PSHE lessons, we cover a range of concepts, such as British Values, diversity and the Rights of the Child.  Each week, our children engage with Picture News to discuss a range of current affairs to help them to understand their place in today's world.

Zones of Regulation
We use the Zones of Regulation toolkit to equip children with strategies to manage the complex range of emotions. This is employed during PSHE lessons and within our behaviour policy following a red card.

SEND and inclusivity
Classes openly discuss issues of inclusivity within PSHE lessons and when they arise. Children are taught about ways in which to ensure people with differing needs are included within society, not just in our academy.

Extra-Curricular Clubs
Many children have the opportunity to attend our after-school clubs run by our staff and Unmatched Coaching in a range of different activities.

Sports Competitions
We are scheduled to attend local sporting competitions this academic year. These competitions range in their target audience, therefore providing greater opportunities for those who wouldn’t normally attend sporting competitions to attend.

Assemblies
We tackle many important issues within our assemblies. Assemblies are mapped out across the year to discuss British values, Protected Characteristics, Rights of the Child and current affairs, our PSHE curriculum and issues that arise in our academy and in the world.

School events and fundraising

We have a number of opportunities throughout the year for children to participate in, including film nights, discos and fundraising days for charity.
