At Newlands Primary Academy, it is our intention to support our children to become lifelong learners; who have the knowledge and skill to be successful at the next stage of their educational journey.

We implement this through a carefully sequenced curriculum and appropriate learning journeys to meet the needs of our learners. We involve you in this process through our home learning requests and parental workshops. Our parent information sheets help you to understand what we are teaching each half-term so that you can have valuable discussions at home.

The impact of this is the progress that your children make - the knowledge and understanding that they can apply to their learning and the recall that they have to be successful in their learning and within society.

As a school and community we have created a vision for Newlands Learners, which links closely to the values and aims of the University of Chichester Academy Trust.

This journey starts in the Early Years. We use the 'Reception Baseline Assessment' to help identify accurate starting points when children join us. This information is then used to inform curriculum planning so that children are challenged in their learning. Adults in EYFS support children to learn through a range of indoor and outdoor learning opportunities. There is a combination of adult led activities each day and continuous provision (Discovery Time).
