Primary cross curriculum. Southdale Junior School. Learning outside the classroom. 2
Description
Situated in the lower middle class town of Osset on the edge of Wakefield, there are 270, mostly white, pupils in this 2-form entry school. Southdale Junior School has an amazing growing area and has converted one of its old school rooms into a potting shed. The creativity here is palpable, cross curricular working in evidence throughout, with a focus on art, MFL (they all learn Spanish) and with a strong ICT programme. The school is developing a topic-based creative curriculum which aims to embed skills within subjects, under the umbrella of an overarching scheme of work. It has an RHS officer visiting to help teachers and children with outdoor work. Teachers have been especially impressed with the children's increasing understanding of science since they developed their practical curriculum.
