PN Public Academy follows UP board curriculum for all classes. To meet the requirements of the board, the core subjects, together with the foundation subjects, are planned, where possible, within the framework of a cross-curricular topic. We use projectors, smart boards and other latest gadgets for making teaching more effective and receptive.
Staff, within year groups, meet to determine the nature of the topic, its content, timing, organisation, resourcing and teaching strategies, making reference to the children’s previous experience. The content areas are based on the UP Board guidelines.
Middle School (Classes 6th to 8th)
Currently we are recognised by UP Board of education and follow their curriculum in all aspect. for each class we have a class teacher who is responsible for overall monitoring and progress of students and keep all records of a class. We have expert teachers of each prescribed subject. We focus on practical learning of subject with facts and figures and involve all students in learning a topic. we make teams and assign projects relevant to the topic. Many a times visit to local places and involvement of parents is also required. The topic is initially prepared with reference to the long-term plan. The teachers then complete their medium-term plans which are used to inform detailed, weekly, short-term and daily plans. A copy of the long-term plan for each year group is provided for parents at the start of every year and it is also available on the school website. Further information can be obtained from the class teachers. Middle schools students can get books related to topic issued from library or can sit in study in it during their library period and extra time.
We place great importance promoting the children’s love of books and encourage them to be confident, independent readers. We use UP Board curriculum books as our main reading scheme, which is supplemented with independent books to help build understanding and comprehension.
For English speaking improvement for our students who join in Middle school from other schools we use phonics programme of primary learners of Letters and Sounds.
It is acknowledged that early childhood is a crucial stage of life in terms of children’s physical, intellectual, emotional and social development. Education begins at home and in all play mode settings. In the first year of primary school , children build on what they already know and can do. The curriculum is both a foundation for future work and important in its own right.
Relevant and appropriate curriculum activities are structured to provide for individual children’s starting points, and to ensure stimulating teaching and learning opportunities. Children work towards the Early Learning Goals, which set out what is expected for most children by the end of the Class 1.
The children’s development is assessed on entry to school and is followed up, throughout the school year, to give an ongoing Foundation Stage Profile of how individual children are progressing and adjusting to school. Parents are encouraged to discuss all aspects of their child’s progress at parents’ evenings and informally as needs arise. All children participate in dance and Plays in the annual function of the school. Children are taken to railway station visit, police and fire station visit and to vegetable and other markets.
In their later years, children build upon further on all the experiences of previous classes . The day is structured to incorporate a daily literacy session, during which children are involved in focussed tasks to develop necessary skills in learning from books and activities.
Children from all year groups take library and prescribed reading books home, which have been banded together according to difficulty. All children take mathematics work home. Middle school students are given homework in all the subjects as per the requirement of syllabus by the teachers. The students not doing well in any subject is given some extra work on weekends and holidays. We also provide assistance in school for those students whose parents are not able to help their ward in finishing homework or revision. Apart from subject homework children from Class 1 to class 5 take home weekly spellings selected from a variety of sources. Children from class 4 and class 5 are expected to pursue their own project related studies at home, making full use of their research skills using local facilities. There is a policy relating to homework which is available for all parents. All the children have a School/Homework Diary which clearly explains the work expected of each year group.
Dear parents, we would like to thank you for choosing and having faith in the PN Public Academy in the process of considering and planning your children’s education.
