Curriculum

We consider it important to embrace all the experiences of children in school when planning the Curriculum.

At Leonard Stanley Primary School we want our children to develop a love for reading. We will support them to develop the knowledge, skills and confidence so they can make a difference in the world, and above all things, we want our children to be kind. Our curriculum helps us to achieve these aims.

We teach a carefully sequenced, knowledge-rich curriculum which aims to inspire pupils and promote excellent outcomes for all. The curriculum content has been carefully chosen by our own subject experts and is organised in a coherent way, ensuring children can build on their knowledge from year to year. In this way, the knowledge in the curriculum is cumulative, constructing firm foundations and schema from which children can progress and develop deeper conceptual understanding and subject-specific knowledge and skills over time.

Our curriculum also values talk, discussion and reflection. Children have time to think deeply and learn how to discuss their ideas and opinions as well as taking time to listen to and understand the ideas of others.
