At Upton Heath Church of England Primary School, we have agreed that our curriculum should reflect our Vision, Mission, Values and Church of England status to ensure that our children leave our school with a sense of belonging to a tightly knit community, where they have the confidence and skills to make decisions, self-evaluate, make connections, become lifelong learners and good citizens.

We want our children to REACH their full potential, as we know that our children come from different backgrounds and have different starting points. Our curriculum is designed to: recognise children’s prior learning, provide first hand learning experiences, allow the children to develop interpersonal skills, build resilience and become creative, critical thinkers.

Our curriculum is

Relevant
Engaging
Ambitious
Creative
Holistic

We agree that our curriculum should be RELEVANT, to our learners and our community. It should be up to date and be sequential, to ensure a good progression in learning knowledge and skills to enable our children to thrive and achieve their full potential. Our curriculum should be ENGAGING, well planned, organised and well resourced; delivered in a variety of ways to ensure that all of children can access a meaningful and exciting curriculum, that is built on prior knowledge. It should be delivered indoors and outdoors. We will follow a mastery approach to ensure that our curriculum is AMBITIOUS for all. We want our children to use their natural enquiring minds to develop resilience and patience to enable them to achieve their potential. Our curriculum will not just focus on the Core subjects it will be CREATIVE and will provide opportunities for all to display work, present work, perform for others and take part in various events, including sporting and artistic. Ours is a HOLISTIC curriculum, that is based around high quality books, that will be studied and reinforced in a broad and balanced approach to ensure that all needs are catered for.
