Our Curriculum

Our school provides opportunities for all children to achieve their full God given potential. We aim to prepare our children for the experiences and responsibilities of their journey through life in the example of Christ. We acknowledge our responsibility to show love and respect to all.

We believe our curriculum is a step on the ladder of lifelong learning, for every unique child. We aim for every child to become an independent learner and strive to promote an excellent attitude to learning through teaching positive ways of thinking including; respect, determination, perseverance and resilience. We support pupils to become thoughtful, reflective and responsible citizens.

Through a thematic approach, we offer a rich and balanced curriculum where topics and individual subjects are carefully connected in a meaningful way to enable pupils to achieve the highest possible standards. Our aim is to ensure that children can think like specialists in a particular subject, for example a historian, a scientist or an artist.

Our curriculum reflects the culture, location, history and geography of our community in the East Riding of Yorkshire and is also reflective of national and global issues. We aim to develop outward looking pupils who have an understanding of the wider world and its complex cultures. We believe learning should be a rewarding and enjoyable experience and we strive to provide learning experiences that engage, motivate and inspire children.

We consider that it is important that we have fun as a school community and so events, trips and celebrations are a part of our school life – building happy memories. From play in the Early Years, we seek to retain creativity, problem solving and active learning as children move through school, keeping children positive and engaged.
