Curriculum
Curriculum Intention
Pupils will:
- be inspired by the teaching and learning at our school
- be engaged and experience learning as enjoyable and fulfilling
- develop an enquiring mind, a love of learning and a thirst for knowledge, which they carry with them throughout life
- develop the ability, attitude and organisational skills to work both independently and in collaboration with others
- master the key skills and achieve a level of competency sufficient to prepare them for the future challenges they will face
- experience success and enjoy opportunities to celebrate their achievements
At St Anne’s Fulshaw CE Primary School, the curriculum is divided into three key areas:
- Early Years Foundation Stage [Reception]
- Key Stage 1 [Year 1 & 2]
- Key Stage 2 [Year 3, 4, 5 & 6]
As classes are organised in mixed-age groups, the school arranges its curriuclum on a two-year rolling programme. The programme has been designed to promote cross-curricular links across areas of the National Curriculum, in order to enable pupils to apply knowledge, understanding and skills across a range of different subjects. This has proven to be a successful and enjoyable way of learning for our pupils, anbling children to be both supported and challenged, depending on their individual needs.
Curriculum information is available by subject and by year.
Teaching British Values at St Anne’s Fulshaw CE Primary School
We deliver British values education as part of our ongoing curriculum offer, making relevant links, where appropriate, to the topic areas studied in class. For example, during lessons on Ancient Greece, or during UK Parliament Week, children learn what it means to live in a democracy and how that has evolved over time. British values lessons are also incorporated into our PSHE curriculum through the myHappymindPlus long term plan and resources.
Democracy – Promoting a democratic process.
Rule of Law – Teaching the importance of laws and rules, their purpose in protecting society, and the consequences of breaking them.
Individual Liberty – Ensuring children understand their rights and freedoms, while also learning to exercise them responsibly within a safe environment.
Mutual Respect – Teaching children to respect the protected characteristics of others and to treat everyone with respect.
Tolerance of Different Faiths and Beliefs – Encouraging an understanding and appreciation of different cultures, faiths and beliefs, and promoting respect for all people regardless of their background.
