We believe that the curriculum should stimulate enjoyment and commitment to learning as a means to encourage the best possible progress and the highest attainment for all pupils; preparing them effectively for the next steps in their education.
We communicate curriculum expectations through a range of initiatives. Click below to find out more:

Extra-Curricular Activities
A range of extra curricular activities are planned to extend and enhance the curriculum at Ardleigh Green. Clubs run by our staff are provided free of charge. Clubs run by outside providers are subsidised by the school but paid for by parents.
Our coaches are fully qualified, DBS checked, hold a first-aid certificate and have attended a child protection course.
To sign up we will kindly ask you to pay in full the cost of all the sessions through your Scopay account. Unfortunately there is a 30 pupil limit to most of these clubs, places will be allocated on a strictly first come first served basis. If you are not successful this time, the class will be run again at a later date.
PE Information
Physical Education at Ardleigh Green Junior School aims to embed physical activity in all our children to help them overcome the challenges of modern life and unlock their potential. We want to provide sport and physical activity as a tool for all our children to use as a transformative power to allow them to overcome challenges and set them up for a happy and healthy future. PE builds skills that can be used across all subjects and teaches more than just the rules or techniques of sports; it develops resilience, communication and respect which are all values that need to be adopted in later life. We want to engage all our children in this mentality and way of thinking.
At Ardleigh Green, your child will have two PE lessons each week: one short PE lesson and one long PE lesson.
For short PE lessons, children need to come to school wearing trainers with their school uniform. For long PE lessons, children need to come to school wearing their school PE kit and trainers. More information about this is on the uniform page. Your child’s PE day will be communicated to you by your class teacher.
Homework
Times Tables – Please work with us to help your child learn their times tables. Guidance on learning tables can be found inside the front cover of the homework diary.
Spelling – Please work with us to help your child learn spellings each week; it is so important.
Reading – we ask that you encourage your children to read as often as you can but at least three times a week. We will reward every read with a dojo in school. If your child struggles with reading, we suggest reading with them more frequently.
Additional homework linked to learning from the week in school is set every Friday and is due in the following Friday. Children are awarded Class Dojo points when homework is completed.
