Our Curriculum Intent
Our curriculum is designed to ensure that our children are provided with the steps to success they need at the start of their school journey. It develops the school’s values (kindness, respect, responsibility, teamwork, resilience and excellence).
​
The curriculum is delivered through a culture of high expectations, principled and caring relationships and consistent routines, where children’s well-being and happiness is at the forefront of all that we do. The supportive and empowering environment encourages every child to flourish academically, socially and emotionally, ensuring that they develop into confident, compassionate and resilient individuals. Our curriculum provides the knowledge and skill set (both personal and academic) for our children to take their place in the world to become the best that they can be. Our curriculum is the foundation of a high achieving, nurturing and inclusive primary school where children are at the heart of our community.
​
Throughout the school, the intention of our curriculum and teaching is to develop vocabulary, knowledge, skills, character and culture over the long term. We support this through our ‘Pillars of Excellence’; strategies that represent best practices throughout the curriculum.

The Pillars of Excellence
The Pillars of Excellence represent best practise for developing the intention of our curriculum. They are based on best practices, such as Rosenshine’s Principles for evidence-based strategies that lead to better child outcomes.
The pillars are not a checklist to be seen in every lesson but a set of principles for teachers to use when planning, teaching and assessing.
The pillars will be used at appropriate times by the teacher to support the development of vocabulary, skills and knowledge needed for deeper learning within our curriculum.
Through effective implementation, the Pillars of Excellence will inspire and enthuse children, sparking curiosity and risk-taking. Our Pillars of Excellence are built upon our teachers’ expert knowledge alongside a culture of high expectations, principled and caring relationships and consistent routines.
The Pillars of Excellence are:
