Welcome to Langdon Primary School
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). There is information below to help parents, carers or other members of the public learn about the curriculum at Langdon Primary School; please talk to your child’s class teacher if you wish to know more about any aspect of our curriculum.

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.

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.

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.
Parents have the right to withdraw their child from all or part of our Religious Education lessons. Please talk to the class teacher should you wish this to be the case for your child.
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.
