CURRICULUM INTENT

Our curriculum has been designed to:

• promote access to learning for all children through high ambition and achievement for all children; 
• provide opportunities for children to work in collaboration, independently and with support so they become confident, successful learners. 
• Include consideration for substantive content, disciplinary content and general skills for each subject discipline that is delivered by teachers in the most effective way for learning.
• Include careful sequencing, chunking and re-visiting of programmes of study to ensure that pupils learn foundational knowledge before moving on to more complex ideas. 

Our curriculum is devised through:

• specific themes that incorporate the statutory national curriculum objectives;
• our pupils’ ideas and other school community influences so it is inclusive, broad and balanced. 

We place great importance in making our curriculum relevant, exciting and purposeful so our children develop memorable experiences and flourish.

As a Church of England school we focus on developing:

• children’s moral, spiritual, social and cultural understanding through our core Christian values, the fundamental British values, and the PSHE curriculum. 

We actively promote equality as a rights respecting gold achieving school and take seriously children's health and well-being. 

Pupil voice is actively encouraged so they make a valuable contribution towards shaping their education, their community and the future of their school.
