Design Technology

The children are provided with a variety of experiences, which enable them to plan, design, produce, modify and evaluate their projects. As they progress through the school they are taught the skills needed to put together work of high quality and craftsmanship. They are given opportunities to use knowledge and skills they have learnt, to solve practical problems and are taught to select appropriate materials and use equipment safely.

ICT

We are proud of our ICT provision and are continuing to develop ways of using this technology in many curriculum areas. In three classroom bases we have networked interactive whiteboards and laptop computers. The fourth classroom uses networked PCs.We have broadband connection to the internet, made possible by working closely with our partner schools.We have two digital cameras, which are used to enhance the children’s learning and provide a record of school life.

Religious Education

We follow the Cambridgeshire Agreed Syllabus for Religious Education. The aim of this is to enable pupils to acquire knowledge and understanding of Christianity and the other principal religions represented in Great Britain, and develop the ability to explore, reflect on and respond to human experience, drawing on their study of religion. At Foxton the teaching is predominantly Christian but non–denominational, and pupils are introduced to other faiths, cultures and traditions. This is taught by familiarising the children with religious stories and ceremonies and building on their own experiences. There is also the opportunity to join in a variety of celebrations and festivals, visiting the local church if appropriate. Through Religious Education we encourage our children to develop a consideration for others and an understanding of how religion affects people's lives, attitudes, actions and respect for the world around them.
