Curriculum Intent

St. Peter’s Curriculum combines broad and challenging subject knowledge with learning skills that prepare our children for whatever comes next; at school and in life. Our innovative curriculum is delivered through traditional knowledge-centred lessons, learning-skill development and inquiry-based learning.

Our curriculum reflects each child’s unique potential for learning but is sharply focused on:

• The fundamentals of Maths, English, RE and Science. We teach these discretely and with clear intent (see Curriculum Statements for each subject).
• An inquiry-based approach to foundation subjects in which our children acquire and master skills and knowledge through well-planned and engaging lessons.
• Helping each child thrive in a digital-rich, diverse and globalised environment through the development of our key curriculum drivers.

Curriculum Drivers:

Metacognition

We aspire for pupils to embrace challenge with a growth mindset and show curiosity, independence and resilience in all that they do.  

Ethics

We aspire for pupils to become wise, respectful learners. 

Oracy

We aspire for pupils to become emotionally mature with a depth of language that enables them to share ideas effectively. 

Diversity

We aspire for pupils to become emotionally literate, tolerant, and appreciative of an ever-changing global environment. 

Inquiry

 We aspire for pupils to be reflective, confident learners.

Our curriculum and SEN

At St. Peter's CE Primary Academy, all class teachers are responsible for providing a curriculum that is suitable for all pupils in the class, including those with Special Educational Needs or Disabilities (SEND) with support from the SENCo. We have high expectations for all pupils and are committed to ensuring our curriculum complies with the Equality Act 2010 and the Special Educational Needs and Disability Regulations 2014. Our inclusion statement emphasises the importance of providing an inclusive learning environment for all pupils including those with SEND.
