Curriculum
All of our staff are dedicated and passionate about raising standards and improving the life chances for our children. We value each and every member of our school community, treating each other with respect and encouraging all staff and children to ‘SHINE’.
Our aim is to provide our children with an engaging and empowering curriculum that equips them for life and future success. At Glebefields Primary School we enable this by providing our children with a safe, positive place where children can grow socially and academically.
Curriculum Intent
At Glebefields Primary School the breadth of our curriculum is designed based on the context of our community, and has high expectations for all learners to reach their potential, regardless of socio-economic factors.
Enrichment of language opportunities: We want all children to leave Glebefields being confident readers and talkers, who read for meaning, understand ambitious vocabulary and are able to communicate meaningfully.
Experiential Learning: We want children to have hands-on, active experiences where they learn through doing and investigating. Learning is enhanced through our provision for trips and visits for real-life experiences and extra-curricular opportunities. These engage children in current and future learning, giving them a greater understanding of the world they live in (cultural capital).
Responsible Learners: Through our School Values (Resilience, Empathy, Self-Awareness, Passion, Excellence, Communication and Teamwork), children are ‘learning to learn’ so positive attitudes to learning are established. This opens up the gateway to the breadth of possibilities and aspirations available to them and supports engagement in learning. Our curriculum allows children to build upon prior learning.
Making Informed Choices: We equip children with the confidence, knowledge and skills to allow them to make informed decisions to keep themselves happy, safe and healthy. We teach the diversity of the world our children are part of, developing responsible citizens who have respect for others. Children leave Glebefields with a sense of belonging to a closely-knit community.
Importance of Family Engagement: We recognise the positive impact that family members can have on their child’s learning. Therefore we celebrate children’s achievements with parents and encourage families to be involved in school life and events.
We want children to leave Glebefields with a sense/understanding of:
- knowing right from wrong
- aspirations for their futures
- their own potential
- being good role models who understand the law
- being confident, respectful, well-rounded, happy and tolerant young people
- having a strong work ethic
- pride in their achievements
- learning from their mistakes
- the world around them – cultural capital
- effective learning
- dealing with conflict appropriately
