Entry to Langdon School in 2024 – book visits now!
The Reception children follow a broad curriculum based on the Early Learning Goals; this forms the final part of the Foundation Stage. From Year 1 (aged 5) the children follow the National Curriculum. This has 3 core subjects – English, Mathematics and Science and 7/8 foundation subjects (depending upon Key Stage) – History, Design and Technology, Computing, Geography, Art and Design, Music, Physical Development and Languages (for Key Stage 2).

At Langdon we teach phonics, using the Sounds Write scheme, in order to help children with early reading skills. We teach comprehension skills, inference and deduction through Dandelion reading books for early readers and also using real books, texts, images and videos, often linked to our learning in Integrated Learning lessons. Each class reads with the teacher at least four times per week in Guided Reading lessons and we encourage children to read at home in order to practice what they have been taught.

Each term we look at a different aspect of online safety. Our work is based on the SWGFL Digital Literacy and Citizenship plans for primary schools. These plans can be found at the following address:

Design and Technology involves using imagination and creativity to design, make, test and evaluate products that solve real or relevant problems in a variety of contexts. Click on the link below to see how we teach this across the school.
Children are taught about the physical, human and social geography of locations in the UK and around the world as well as knowledge that they can use practically, such as map reading. Click on the link to see how we teach all aspects of geography at Langdon School.
History is a firm favourite in the teaching plan at Langdon. We love learning about local history such as the impact of the Second World War on the town of Dover, as well as history from long ago and far off places such as Ancient India or the Shang Dynasty in China. See how history is taught to each class by clicking the link below.

Our Religious Education Plans are based on the Kent Agreed Syllabus. The three main religions are studied across the primary phase are Christianity, Islam and Judaism. We also look at other religions and look at what people with no religion think, do and believe.
Our Integrated Learning Plans show topics and themes that we teach in a cross curricular way.
They will be uploaded at the beginning of each term so that you can follow what your child is learning in their class topics. Previous term plans are available to view so that you can look back at past learning the children have done.
