A broad, balanced and relevant skills based education is offered to all the pupils, providing a wide range of experiences to meet their personalised needs. The core subjects and foundation subjects are all taught through a cross-curricular approach where it enhances learning or as discrete subjects.
Our curriculum is further enriched by themed weeks which have been proposed by the children and in which the they work collaboratively on a whole school topic. The school meets the requirements of the National Curriculum for Years 1 to 6, and the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum for pupils in Reception.

Learning happens when pupils make sense of ideas in relation to what they already know. When we talk about knowledge in the long-term memory, we often refer to this as Sticky learning. Sticky learning is effectively the knowledge that stays with us forever.
At Pencombe, we embed a range of strategies to develop retrieval practice in teaching across all year groups so that pupils are reminded of their knowledge and that learning builds on prior knowledge:
We believe that learning outside of the classroom offers a valuable opportunity to extend learning and enrich children’s understanding of themselves, others, and the world around them. Educational visits, trips and opportunities often provide the most enjoyable experiences and enduring memories from school days.
Here are some of the experiences our children have taken part in:
