“Children are at the centre of all we do”
Our Intent
As a family-orientated church school, children have opportunities to build positive relationships across a multi-generational community, equipping them to be role models in society.
To achieve their academic potential on their life-long learning journey, we provide a safe and supportive environment for children to take risks, make their own learning decisions, work collaboratively and independently.
Whilst making the greatest use of the wide open spaces in our community and the outdoor education this provides, we balance this with a range of visits and experiences, during and beyond the school day, to enhance our understanding of the opportunities and diversity in the UK and wider world.
Our Curriculum Implementation
Our vibrant curriculum covers all aspects of the National Curriculum and the locally agreed RE syllabus.

Phonics
Children learn phonics (letter sounds) in short, regular sessions of Supersonic Phonic Friends in EYFS and Key Stage 1.
Reading
West Heslerton's reading scheme but has a range of books, both fiction and non-fiction covering a range of genre and subjects from different publishers. These books are graded according to the level of challenge they present and matched to each child's interest, reading ability and level of maturity. This way, children experience lots of different characters, layouts, styles and authors. Books are changed daily or as required.
