Curriculum overview

Whole School Curriculum Intent

We believe that our curriculum is one that is broad and balanced and is ambitious for all. It is exciting, relevant and meaningful and responds to the needs of the children, enabling them to shine academically and flourish socially, emotionally, morally and culturally.

In addition, permeating our curriculum are our core values ~ Respect, Ready, Resilient ~ together with the British Values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs..

The curriculum enables children to have self agency, now and in adulthood, because of a developed sense of self and an awareness of their place in the world. This is the result of children seeking meaning and making connections as they build understanding from a foundation of knowledge and skills​

Curriculum Intent

Our curriculum is designed to allow each one of our children to: ​

• Achieve the best possible academic standards, demonstrating growth, whatever their ability​
• Be confident, creative and resilient, displaying a thirst for learning​

• Have aspirations for the future and know that these can be reached through hard work and commitment ​
• Be culturally knowledgeable about our community, country and world​
• Become mentally and emotionally happy and resilient citizens, ready for the challenges that lie ahead
