Curriculum Intent
As a school, we have set our curriculum intent with our children at the centre. All of our subject intents link to our main curriculum intent:
- To engage the children to learn key concepts and knowledge that will inspire ambition, lead to academic success and support them in their later employment.
- To broaden our children’s horizons, exploring concepts that provoke a personal response or opinion, thinking about their place in the world and encouraging them to develop as global citizens.
- To be aware of different points of view in order to develop a greater tolerance of others and to express their views appropriately.
- To look specifically at the key themes of democracy and equality in order to understand how societies have evolved.
Most of our topics are history led and are based around the key themes of settlement, democracy, monarchy, empire and wealth and poverty. These key themes run in a progressive way throughout the history curriculum so that the children build upon and revisit prior concepts and learning.
Our curriculum is designed to develop our children as self-assured and confident individuals who are fully prepared for their transition into secondary school and beyond, as well as fully equipped with the literacy and numeracy skills needed for a successful future.
