Our curriculum is designed with the following in mind: 

1. It is valued

2. Knowledge is specified and taught to be remembered

3. Coherent 

4. Cumulative 

5. Academically challenging 

We aim to equip our learners with the knowledge and skills they need, enabling them to be ambitious about all they can be within their lives, challenge themselves to achieve and celebrate success in a way that demonstrates respect for themselves, their family, their friends, their community and the world within which they live.

Being a church school is important to us and Christian values underpin all that we do within both our learning and play. The atmosphere and ethos of the school reflects that it is a community which collaborates to improve; shows courage and resilience in order to aim higher; and who demonstrate compassion for, and belief in each other, the church and a love for learning. 

Our staff all share an ambitious vision of what we want our pupils to achieve from our aspirational curriculum and how we can go about achieving this.  Our curriculum design has been greatly impacted by the desire to aim higher for our children and families.  The long-term curriculum plan demonstrates a coherent, sequenced, curriculum where knowledge is specified, that builds both within a year and across year groups, starting right from the beginning, with our first class, Reception, who access an ambitious EYFS curriculum that is underpinned by seven key areas of learning and builds broad and solid foundations in preparation for achieving success and readiness for their future learning. 

The KS1 and KS2 curriculum, is primarily based upon the National curriculum and is rich in knowledge of many different aspects of the world around them and promotes development of skills that they will need to lead a full and active life within the world they live.  All children access our curriculum offer, appropriate adaptations are made where needed to enable our children with special educational needs to access every aspect.

We aim to equip our learners with the knowledge and skills they need, enabling them to aspire to all they can achieve within their lives, challenge themselves to achieve and these celebrate success in a way that demonstrates respect for themselves, their family, their friends, their community and the world within which they live.
