Curriculum
At Pott Shrigley C of E Primary School we offer a bespoke, immersive and progressive curriculum. A curriculum that is built on our foundations of a strong Christian ethos and values. Our Mission Statement 'Be Kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ, God forgave you, Ephesians 4:32, is one we live out every day in everything we do. Our broad and balance curriculum is designed with our children, families and unique context being at the heart of everything we do.
Our curriculum is designed with our children at the heart. Enabling them to 'hook' into learning, experiment, take risks and make links that go beyond our school, links to the real world. We aim not just to prepare our children for the next stage of their education, but to ensure our children know that life is for learning; about ourselves, each other, our world, the past, and the future. We endeavour to create life-long learners who understand the importance of their education and can use it to create social change within their lives and that of others.
Our curriculum is based on a two or three year cycle to ensure all objectives for each year group are covered in our mixed age classes. Our curriculum has been devised using 'key knowledge' which run through all curriculum areas. These are the key concepts taken from the National Curriculum which drive and underpin our curriculum design. Each unit of learning identifies a key areas of focus which are repeated and extended as children move through the school. They combine skills and knowledge which allow children to develop transferable learning between subjects and topics.
Our curriculum is enriched, exciting, and challenging, it allows our children to flourish and reach their own individual potential. We present our children with enquiry questions that they then explore within a lesson. This enquiry question is evaluated by both the children and the teacher to ensure assessment is continuous, meaningful and effectively plans next steps in every child's individual learning journey.
Our curriculum is ambitious and challenging. We spark the curiosity and inquisition of all our children, leading to a love of learning.
