Curriculum Intent Overarching Statement

At Shotley Bridge Primary School, our curriculum is based on the Early Years 2012 Framework for Reception and the September 2014 National Curriculum for Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. As an inclusive and caring school, our curriculum is designed to promote and enhance the learning of all of our pupils. We are developing a rich, exciting, and well-structured curriculum and supporting this with high-quality first teaching. We want our pupils to have the building blocks and self-belief to become successful adults by inspiring a love of learning; being respectful moral citizens; being independent, and aiming high. We further enhance pupils’ learning and experiences during their time with us by providing a wide range of enrichment opportunities including visitors into school, educational visits, creative experiences, and extra-curricular activities. We draw on the professional expertise from within our own organisation as well as from the wider community. These themes are central to our vision:

Respect, Equality and Diversity.
Independence.
Growth Mindset.
Love of Learning.

Our aim is to provide our children with an engaging, exciting and empowering curriculum that equips them not only for today, but prepares them for tomorrow.
