All Saints Church of England Primary SchoolCurriculum Intent Statement 2024
Our vision is to nurture all children, who are valued as individuals, and equip them to be independent, resilient learners, allowing each and every child to thrive and flourish, reaching their fullest potential.
At All Saints, we embrace our diverse community and encourage everyone to be kind, curious and question the world around them. We give our children the fundamental skills they need to prepare for their lifelong journey of learning.
Our community at All Saints is grounded in our core Christian values of respect, compassion, creativity and hope. We seek to inspire in all, a love of learning and a sense of belonging while being guided by our mission statement of “Seeking God in all we do."
At All Saints CE Primary School, we are committed to providing a rich, broad, balanced, progressive and ambitious curriculum for all our learners, ensuring they are all valued as individuals and able to reach their fullest potential.
In addition to following the National Curriculum in England, our intent is to nurture creative, curious, and critical thinkers who are well-rounded and prepared for life's next stages with the fundamental skills they all need, ensuring all our pupils develop the skills needed for their lifelong journey of learning. We aim to inspire a love of learning through engaging and inclusive activities, fostering each child's academic and personal growth.
Curriculum drivers shape our curriculum breadth and are linked directly to our vision statement and Christian values: Creativity, Respect, Compassion and Hope. They are used to ensure we give pupils appropriate and ambitious opportunities:
Creativity – inspiring and building self-expression and confidence
Respect – for humankind and the environment
Compassion – understanding that leads to a call to action and change
Hope - learning to embrace the future
To achieve our curriculum intent, we will implement our curriculum through:
Lessons and Teaching: Deliver high-quality lessons that engage and challenge all pupils, incorporating a variety of teaching methods to cater to different learning styles and needs.
Cross-Curricular Links: Integrate subjects through thematic approaches and cross-curricular links, helping pupils see the connections between different areas of learning and apply their knowledge in various contexts.
Building on Prior Knowledge: Carefully sequence curriculum to build on pupils’ prior knowledge and skills, allowing for a coherent and progressive learning journey. This supports long-term retention and deepens understanding.
Recall and Application: Encourage regular recall and application of previously taught learning to reinforce memory and understanding. We will provide opportunities for pupils to revisit and use their knowledge and skills in new situations.
Creativity and Curiosity: Offer a range of activities that stimulate creativity and curiosity, allowing pupils to explore their interests and develop their imagination. This includes hands-on experiences, problem-solving tasks, and opportunities for independent learning.
Inclusive Practices and Adaptation: Implement strategies that ensure every child has access to the curriculum and is supported to achieve their full potential.
The impact of our curriculum will be measured by:
Pupil Outcomes: Assessing pupils' progress and attainment through regular formative and summative assessments, ensuring they meet or exceed national expectations.
Skill Development: Monitoring the development of essential skills, such as critical thinking, problem-solving, collaboration, and creativity.
Pupil Engagement: Evaluating pupils' engagement and enthusiasm for learning, reflected in their behaviour, attendance, and participation in school activities.
Feedback: Gathering feedback from pupils, parents, and staff to continuously improve and adapt our curriculum to meet the needs of our community.
Preparedness for Next Steps: Ensuring pupils are well-prepared for the next stage of their education and life, equipped with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes required for success.
