Curriculum
At Stilton C of E Primary Academy, we aim for all pupils to be successful learners, confident individuals and responsible citizens.
Overview
At Stilton C of E Primary Academy, our aim is that our pupils become curious and successful learners, confident individuals and responsible citizens. This guide lets you know how the curriculum supports these key goals at our school.
Intent
We aim to:
- promote the highest possible achievement for all pupils irrespective of race, gender, culture or disability.
- provide a knowledge rich curriculum which is broad and balanced.
- inspire our pupils and encourage them to ask questions
- provide our pupils with a broad and rich vocabulary that all can access
- promote pupil's intellectual, spiritual, creative, cultural and physical development.
- prepare pupils to become responsible citizens, confident, independent, healthy individuals and life-long learners in the 21st century.
Implementation
Our Curriculum is a well sequenced, knowledge rich curriculum which is taught to be remembered. It follows the National Curriculum with a progression model where learning is carefully sequenced to build on prior knowledge and understanding. All pupils in all classes are entitled to the same rich curriculum and provision is scaffolded for those that require it. Lessons are taught subject by subject with an overarching half termly question to develop curiosity. Our 'golden threads', run through all we do and build on previous learning.
The Primary Knowledge Curriculum ( PKC) is used as a resource to support our teaching and learning See the overview of the cross-curricular units children will be learning about .
Each half term we will let you know which topics your children will be learning about – go to your class page to find out more.
