Key Stages 1 and 2
We are keen for our children to want to learn, to love to learn and to have the skills
required for lifelong learning. The whole school community has come together and
worked
over an extensive period of time to create a brand new, exciting, challenging and
stimulating
curriculum which will be ideal for developing the children into enthusiastic, resilient
and interested learners. We believe our curriculum is relevant, engaging, broad,
balanced and holistic so pupils are equipped for life and can succeed in the 21st
century. It also enables children to enjoy a wide range of spiritual, moral, cultural
and social experiences and act to reflect our treasured values of commitment, aspiration,
respect and enjoyment. Our curriculum values and ethos in school ensures teaching
of and upholding essential British values of democracy, rule of law, liberty, respect
and tolerance to all those with different faiths, beliefs and needs.
Through our curriculum we aim to help pupils to:
- develop as effective local, national and global citizens.
- develop lively, enquiring minds that encourages lifelong learning; the ability to
question and argue rationally, to work with imagination and a sense of purpose
- strive for excellence in everything they do
- develop confidence and resilience to meet challenges without fear of failure
- set high expectations and achieve high standards
- Build effective partnerships for learning
We believe that everything that goes on within school, whether inside or outside
the classroom forms part of our curriculum.
