Curriculum
Our curriculum intent is driven by our school vision.
‘Let your light shine before others.’
Underpinning our ‘curriculum design’ is our school moto; Achieve, Believe and Contribute.
This shapes our curriculum, brings about the aims and values of our school, and responds to the needs of our school community.
Achieve: Our curriculum enables our children to be confident learners. Empowering them to shine academically, and flourish socially, emotionally, morally and culturally. We provide a supportive environment where children can achieve the best possible academic standards, whatever their ability.
Believe: Our children will believe in themselves, they will have healthy minds, showing they are emotionally happy and resilient learners. They will stay true to themselves, valuing their own identity beyond their time at our school. Our children learn to believe in themselves, understanding the value of their own light.
Contribute: We will teach our children to be kind. They will learn to show empathy, tolerance and compassion and above all they will have the integrity to make a positive contribution to the world around them. By living out our vision 'Let your light shine before others', we encourage our children to contribute to the world in which they live.
Our curriculum is designed to fulfil all of the requirements of the Statutory Frameworks (including the locally agreed framework for Religious Education). Our curriculum is further enhanced by our commitment to our core Christian values: Service, Honesty, Inspire, Nurture, Encourage
Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:16
At Mitcheldean Endowed primary school we foster enthusiasm for life-long learning by delivering a meaningful, awe-inspiring cross-curricular programme with our Christian values at its heart. Our curriculum extends opportunities, raises aspirations and opens children’s eyes to the world and different faiths beyond their immediate environment. We aim to build resilience and promote a positive growth mind-set, as it is often through making mistakes that we learn the most. We hope to nurture an atmosphere where everyone feels valued and has respect for others. Our curriculum blueprints illustrate how our school vision and values shape our curriculum provision, they also capture how our SMSC provision is delivered through each curriculum area.
We promote learning skills through our learning behaviour dinosaurs which encourage perseverance, adaptability, achievement, curiosity and teamwork. We take pride in celebrating the achievement of all learners. We adapt our curriculum to ensure every child can reach their full potential. We pride ourselves on offering an inclusive environment where all children regardless of ability, background, challenge or need are supported to meet their full potential. The well-being of the child is at the fore front of our practices and provision and we are committed to developing the child as a whole; academically, emotionally, socially and spiritually.
Our curriculum is coherently planned and sequenced to develop children’s knowledge and skills across all primary subjects, as stipulated within the National Curriculum and the locally agreed syllabus for Religious Education.
At Mitcheldean Endowed Primary School we deliver learning through discrete subjects , that enable children to build on prior learning and develop their knowledge and understanding. Assessment is integral to our approach to ensure pupils are ready for the next stage of their learning.
