The School’s Curriculum

The school aims to provide a curriculum, which fully accords with the National Curriculum and with the curriculum statement of the Education Authority.

The aims of Bailiffe Bridge school have been developed into a separate booklet entitled “Our Aims”, a copy of which will be made available. The aims are reviewed on a regular basis by pupils, staff, governors and parents.

In general teaching is subject specific but wherever possible cross curricular links are made.

We seek to ensure progression, continuity, breadth and balance through the delivery of an enjoyable curriculum. This is achieved by careful planning, evaluation of policies, schemes of work and the assessment and monitoring of children’s learning through careful target setting. We aim to raise standards for all children, promoting an ‘inclusive ethos’.
