St PetersCE Primary School
Curriculum Intent
At St Peter’s CE Primary Academy our curriculum is designed to provide an ambitious, broad and knowledge rich education that prepares pupils for the next stage of their learning and for life beyond school.
Our curriculum combines secure subject knowledge with the development of communication, reasoning and enquiry, enabling pupils to apply their learning with confidence and independence. Learning is carefully sequenced so that knowledge builds progressively from pupils’ starting points through to the end of Year 6.
We place particular emphasis on the core foundations of English, mathematics, RE and science, which are taught discretely and with clear progression. Alongside this, foundation subjects are taught through structured enquiry, allowing pupils to develop both substantive knowledge and an understanding of how each discipline works.
Our curriculum is shaped by key drivers that reflect the needs of our pupils and community, ensuring children are prepared to thrive in a digital, diverse and rapidly changing world.
We are committed to working closely with families to support pupils’ learning. Parents are invited to take part in regular curriculum workshops to help them understand how learning is structured and how they can support their children at home.
