The curriculum at Christ Church Primary is shaped by our vision ‘Aspiring together through love’ and has been developed by leaders and staff in our school. Our curriculum is ambitious, challenging and exciting; it recognises the unique individual and is designed to help every single child have life in all its fullness, growing in all aspects of their personhood: academically, socially, morally, physically and spiritually.

Our curriculum, grounded in research, is progressive and sequential, and it has been designed to ensure our children know more, remember more and can do more as they move through school. Learning that inspires will challenge children to raise their aspirations and imagine possibilities beyond their own experience.

High quality resources along with stimulating and purposeful activities, ensure that deep, meaningful connections within and between each area of the curriculum are made, enabling all children to develop culturally, emotionally, intellectually, socially and spiritually. Children are taught to think deeply, communicate their ideas and emotions, and build on what they already know, regularly reviewing and revisiting learning to aid retention of knowledge over time. Key concepts underpin the ideas we want pupils to grasp, and these are reinforced through different content which allows children to apply their learning in a range of contexts in lessons throughout the day.

Each subject is taught separately to maintain their integrity.  A continuous cycle of review is undertaken to evaluate previous learning. This powerful cycle of collaboration ensures that curriculum development and subject knowledge is central to our work.

All aspects of our curriculum can be found within the stars or subject tabs below.  Curriculum maps for each year group can be found on the ‘Year Group Curriculum Map’ page, under the Curriculum Tab.
