Our curriculum philosophy

Learning is the lifelong process of transforming information and experience into knowledge, skills, behaviour and attitudes. 

Our aim is to provide a rich, purposeful and ambitious curriculum that puts children at the centre and harnesses the unique local history and facilities available to us.  Through creative and inspirational learning opportunities, both inside and outside of the classroom, our curriculum will excite the imagination of our pupils, extend their horizons, meet their individual needs and provide them with a passport for life.

We intend for our curriculum to be:

Sequential: building on prior learning and linked to metacognition;

Transferrable: preparing children for their next stage in learning;

Inspirational: encouraging curiosity, provoking questions and relevant for our children;

Valued: by pupils, staff and parents;

Impactful: all children knowing more and remembering more

Child centred: meeting the needs of our children in our way

Hopeful: focusing on creating a better future for everyone in a school where we all belong;

Adaptable: responding to emerging needs in a changing world and building cultural capital;

Linked: allowing knowledge to build and be revisited in different contexts so that it is learnt;

Lifelong: resulting in a love of learning that fuels ambition and creates confidence.
