At Churchend School, we offer a broad and balanced curriculum that builds on the knowledge, skills and higher order thinking of all our children, whatever their starting points, as they progress through the school.
The curriculum incorporates the statutory requirements of the National Curriculum (2014) and other experiences and opportunities which best meet the learning and developmental needs of the pupils in our school. The aim of our curriculum is for pupils to have the skills and knowledge to be successful, independent and motivated learners so that they may maximise their potential in life.
Our curriculum ensures that academic success, creativity and problem solving involves every child and enables them to develop positive attitudes to learning.
We achieve this through our drivers: community, vocabulary, initiative and possibilities, which underpin our planning of the curriculum. The drivers, along with our six core values, also ensure that physical development and social and emotional well-being are key elements supporting the development of the whole child.
The curriculum celebrates diversity and utilises the skills, knowledge and cultural wealth of the community while supporting the pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.
