Our Educational Aims

Develop - Nurture the growth and development of all children, enabling them to fulfil their potential and achieve their aspirations.

Create - Encourage curiosity, exploration and develop a love of learning in children from an early age and into adulthood

Engage - Contribute meaningfully to the changing and diverse world around them, playing and active role in society

To help us to fulfil our aims we use drivers to underpin all that we do. You will see these around the school.

These drivers (broken down into eighteen learning characteristics) form the foundation of how pupils learn throughout the curriculum.

The curriculum has been created following extensive research to ensure all pupils develop the knowledge and skills to advance their personal and creative skills and to provide opportunities to engage with local and wider community.

When teaching the curriculum, practitioners ensure pupils know how the drivers have been embedded into the area of study. Pupils are given the opportunity to recall prior learning and the progression of vocabulary and skills is revisited throughout the curriculum.

To help them to revisit knowledge, skills and vocabulary they have learnt we use six core threads to tie their thinking together, across all subjects taught. These threads are mapped out across the curriculum:

Sustainability, British Values, Influence, Cultural Diversity, Equity and Innovation
