Here at Snape we want to instill a love of learning in all our children so that they can go into the world with enthusiasm and curiosity. We also believe, particularly in this day and age, that our children need to develop a range of learning skills and attitudes to see them through life. In our ever changing world they could be doing jobs that we haven't thought of yet, accessing information from a range of sources that haven't been invented yet SO we believe resilience and being OK with finding things tricky and TRYING AGAIN is one of the most important aspects of education we can deliver at Snape.
We aim to give children experience through a whole range of activities that are often interwoven because we don't often learn in distinct subjects. We tend to teach basic skills like writing, calculation, reading in the morning because we find we can capture concentration better BUT as we teach through our themes this isn't always the case. We might be writing for history projccts such as finding out what life was like as a Victorian child labourer and keeping a diary as that Victorian child....obviously this covers writing and history skills too. We follow the 2014 National Curriculum ( see below in a link) AND you can also see how we teach our themes to make sure we are covering the correct aspects of that National Curriculum. Click on KS1 or KS2 and you will see topics such as DRAGONS.
Take a look at the documents and then look at our photographs to see how we make Snape learning exciting on our learning adventure together.

We are working on drawing up a very exciting, bespoke curriculum for SNAPE CHILDREN. Here's what we are working on so far. This term KS1 are finding out about FIRE AND ICE and KS2 are studying MAGNIFICENT MARAUDERS.
We are building RESILIENCE through learning new skills+practising of course.....
You can see our yearly themes below. We have the amazing Snape Maltings to explore. We learn about the Maltings as they used to be, the people who lived+worked in the village-some of them are our relatives. History truly coming to life

We are so lucky at with our location right in the heart of Snape village because not only do we have amazing surroundings and history but we also have many talented, creative people in our village and surrounding areas who come and work with us.
'If you go down in the woods today..." We have local woods within 5 minutes walk. How lucky are we?

Do you recognise any of the people in the pictures. They are very influential people in our area. One of them has her name on a special plaque in our school hall. We learn about how and why these three people are important to Snape.
We have some wonderful ideas for our 50 things for SNAPE CHILDREN to do before they're 11 3/4. We are only in need of about 15 more so if you have any ideas let us know by chatting to us OR filling in the form on this page.

AS YOU CAN IMAGINE MUSIC IS VERY IMPORTANT TO US. Every child in KS2 has the opportunity to learn an instrument. We have been very lucky to receive grants from MAGNOX and MUSIC FOR ALL to help us provide musical tuition for our children from the Suffolk Music Service. Children either learn violin, viola or cello OR continue their brass lessons they begun last year. Both groups are AMAZING and perform not only 'in house' but also out and about including at the world renowned Snape Maltings...just down the road!
