Curriculum at Corringham Primary School
At Corringham, we strive to provide our pupils with an exciting, engaging and creative curriculum with “fun” at its heart. Our curriculum enables our children to move confidently onto the next stage in their educational journey providing both breadth and depth into stimulating and memorable learning experiences. We seek to provide our children with inspirational opportunities in academic, sporting and arts areas, promoting excellence through enrichment.
Our curriculum is inclusive and enables learners to achieve their potential by giving every learner what they need to succeed, including giving priority to the social and emotional aspects of learning.
We seek to inspire our children to be lifelong learners; engaging and exploring the world around them - both within and beyond our school gates. We encourage our learners to develop new skills through a variety of interesting, meaningful and purposeful contexts which are relevant to the local, national and international contexts in which they live. We ensure that core skills are woven into and applied across other subjects and that our curriculum is progressive and built on prior learning.
We aim for our children to be passionate about their learning which is underpinned by the school values of Respect, Responsibility, Compassion, Courage and Honesty.

Phonics & KS1 Reading Guidance
On entry in to Ortu Corringham Primary, we teach synthetic phonics as our primary reading strategy. The children receive discrete phonics lessons each day to learn the sounds (phonemes) they need and the letters that make them (graphemes). We follow the Letters and Sounds Scheme in order to do this effectively. The children have access to home reading books and library books.
