Primary Curriculum
We aim to prepare all our learners for their next steps in life. Our curriculum and teaching demonstrate very high expectations to ensure all children can fulfil their potential, make progress and have high aspirations, whatever their preferred learning style and aims in life.
Our primary curriculum ensures that all children have the opportunity to access first-hand experiences, engage with visitors, have access to high-quality resources, and enjoy opportunities to learn outdoors. Our location provides many opportunities to work within the community and alongside community partners.
SMSC (Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural) education plays a significant part in all subject areas ensuring our children excel and become confident learners who strive for excellence. Our own values, British values, school virtues and those values and beliefs of others permeate our subject areas.
The primary curriculum encourages our learners to be resilient, display empathy, be courteous, demonstrate perseverance, be challenged, cooperate, develop friendships, build self-confidence, encourage courtesy, politeness, trust, happiness, safety, honesty and self-control.
We endeavour within our curriculum to exploit and develop enterprise and diversity ensuring children are able to broaden their thinking and aspirations.
We encourage passion for the arts and culture and our community and partnerships.
We highly value our stimulating learning environments both indoors and outdoors, to ensure that children have access to high quality resources, display and learning opportunities to encourage and display a thirst for learning and deepening knowledge.
We are special because we have high expectations and that everyone within our learning community is valued. This leads into the curriculum values within our secondary school where we are fortunate to develop a 5-8 curriculum, teaching and learning model.
