Our Curriculum Intent

We aim to make learning so fabulous that children love coming to school.  We are so proud of our attendance and thank our community for sharing this success with us.  We are constantly searching for new and innovative ways to make learning exciting, so that everyone enjoys the sense of adventure that learning brings. 

The school’s work hard to uphold the vision of ‘Every Child, Every Chance, Every Day’ by ensuring that the development of the whole child is embedded and planned for throughout the curriculum. Opportunities and sequences of learning are carefully and skilfully designed to ensure that pupils’ personal, social and emotional development takes priority. As a result, children are ready to learn and are well prepared for the next stage of their education.   We take an integrated approach to our learning journeys recognising pupils needs to develop explicit skills within a discrete subject.  We have a clear understanding of what children have achieved by the end of our schools curriculum journey eg as scientists, historians, artist's etc.

We aim to provide equality and excellence for all in order to promote the highest possible standards of attainment.  Care for each other is an overarching value which underpins all we do.  Inclusion applies to all members of the school community: pupils, staff, governors, parents/carers and wider community.  We recognise that equal opportunities for pupils are inextricably linked with equal opportunities for staff. The adults in the schools’ act as role models for pupils and are more likely to promote equal opportunities for pupils if they experience these opportunities themselves.

We nurture every child to believe in themselves and give them opportunities to discover their endless potential.  Each member of our community celebrates individuality and respects diversity.  We prepare our learners with the skills to be creative, future thinkers who will be responsible and ready to make a positive contribution to our ever changing world.


These values are designed to ensure that the school meets the needs of all adults and children, taking account of differences in ethnicity, culture, gender, religion, language, age, ability, family circumstances, sexual orientation, linguistic background, disability and social circumstances.  It is important to us that in this school we meet the diverse needs of pupils to ensure inclusion for all and that all pupils are prepared for full participation in a diverse society that is multi-ethnic and inclusive.   

Inclusion is a right to be included. We believe in the principle that inclusion is the right for all children. We ensure that every child:
1.    Has equal chance to learn and develop 
2.    Has the opportunity to participate equally 
3.    Is given opportunity to communicate in their preferred format 
4.    Has their individual needs known and met 
5.    Feels safe and know they belong 
6.    Is valued as a unique individual 
7.    Feels strong and confident about their identity.
