Junior School Curriculum

A Balanced and Engaging Learning Experience

At Bredon Junior School, we combine the National Curriculum with exciting outdoor learning opportunities – creating a well-rounded, personalised education for children aged 8 to 11.

With small class sizes, dyslexia-friendly strategies and a nurturing atmosphere, we ensure every student receives the support they need to flourish.

Core Subjects Taught by Specialists

We focus on developing strong academic foundations, with experienced subject teachers guiding each lesson.

  • English & Maths: taught daily to build essential literacy and numeracy skills
  • Science: taught twice a week through fun, hands-on investigations
  • Weekly lessons in Geography, History, ICT, RE and PSHCE

Mornings are dedicated to core academic subjects – when concentration is at its best.

Dyslexia-Friendly Tools and Techniques

Our classrooms are built around accessibility, structure and flexibility. Every student benefits from tailored support, including:

  • Nessy: Boosting phonics and reading
  • Read & Write Education: Supporting written expression
  • Accelerated Reader: Building confidence through guided reading
  • Typing Club: Developing keyboard skills for independence

Time is set aside daily to work on individual learning goals, ensuring consistent, steady progress.

Practical Learning in the Afternoons

Afternoons are reserved for hands-on experiences that build creativity, self-belief and real-world skills.

  • Creative subjects : Art, DT and Cookery
  • Performing Arts & Music: Building confidence and expression
  • Forest School: Outdoor exploration and reflection
  • School Farm: Responsibility through animal care
  • Outdoor Education: Adventure, resilience and teamwork
  • PE and Sport (twice a week): Fitness, coordination and fun

Designed for Every Student

Our curriculum uses a mix of kinaesthetic, visual and auditory techniques – making learning active and accessible for students with dyslexia and a wide range of learning styles.

Through structured support, flexible thinking and outdoor learning, we help children become resilient, curious and confident students.

Inspiring a Love of Learning

At Bredon Junior School, we don’t just teach lessons – we spark enthusiasm. Our personalised, engaging curriculum is designed to meet students where they are, helping every child reach their full potential in a safe, creative and joyful environment.
