Through studying our primary curriculum, we aim for our pupils to be:

Knowledgeable and skilled:

• Regardless of their experience of disadvantage, our pupils will be exposed to a breadth of coverage that will equip them with knowledge of future possibilities, cultural capital and a wide range of vocabulary.

Good humans:

• Our pupils will be articulate and able to communicate effectively. They will be able to solve problems and resolve conflict – treating others with kindness and respect. They will learn to understand themselves, developing a sense of belonging, while learning to understand differences and the wider world.

Inspired to learn:

• A love of learning will enable our pupils to cope with challenge and show enthusiasm – encouraging hard-work. 

Our curriculum drivers:

• The consideration of ‘possibilities’ drives the breadth of our curriculum. Many of our pupils struggle to see beyond their ‘immediate and familiar’. Through the use of this curriculum driver, we ensure that we give our children appropriate and ambitious curriculum opportunities.

• Cultural capital gives our children the vital background knowledge required to be informed and thoughtful members of a wider community, who understand and believe British Values.

• Understanding of locality – our curriculum aims to give our children a sense of belonging in terms of making sense of their local area.  

We have a responsibility to help to shape the lives of our pupils in order to develop well-rounded, caring and employable citizens of society and our curriculum has this aim at its heart.
