The curriculum at Castlechurch Primary School firmly underpins the school vision and aims.
It is the totality of the children’s learning experiences. We believe that all children have the right to a broad, balanced, challenging and relevant curriculum which provides continuity and progression and takes individual needs into account. At Kingsfield we recognise that children need a well-rounded school experience to succeed, and that personal development is essential to their well-being and achievement.
We believe in developing independent active learners and in giving children increasing responsibility for aspects of their own development. We believe that learning is a continuous process involving the acquisition, interpretation and application of skills, knowledge and concepts and on developing positive attitudes. The aims of the curriculum are to promote high standards and good progress for all learners. A thematic approach is taken to exploit opportunities for cross curricular teaching and purposeful learning to ensure a fusion of excellence in teaching with enjoyment in learning. A strengthened focus on Mathematics and English is employed and taught explicitly as well as using opportunities to apply learnt skills embedded throughout the curriculum. Children’s understanding of computing and the use of technology is used to enhance learning across the curriculum.
