Curriculum Intent

Our curriculum puts the child at the centre of our caring, sharing, achieving school, where positive relationships,
based on mutual trust and respect are at the heart of everything we do. Our ambitious curriculum has been
designed to take account of the legal requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum and the
Primary National Curriculum. It exposes our children to enriching experiences, immersing them in progressive
knowledge and skills; equipping them with personal characteristics required to succeed in life. The creative and
performing arts are pivotal to our curriculum delivery and ensure that our children are immersed in vibrant
experiences, allowing each of them to express themselves as an individual.
The key principles behind the design of our curriculum are for our children to:
- be confident, independent and resilient; displaying a thirst for learning
- be kind; showing empathy and compassion whilst valuing diversity
- achieve academically across the entire curriculum, meeting at least the national expectation by the end
of their primary education
- be culturally knowledgeable about our country and our world
- have aspirations for the future and know that these can be reached through hard work and
determination
- be well prepared for the challenges of the secondary school curriculum.
Ultimately, we want all of our children, to be the best they can be, making a positive contribution to the world they live in.
