| The school's approach to the curriculum | Curriculum Rationale The staff at Victoria Primary School designed the school curriculum with the aim of making a positive difference to the life chances of each of our pupils, no matter what their individual background may be. We believe that the curriculum must always take account of our pupils’ life contexts as well as their social, linguistic and academic starting points if it is to enable and challenge our pupils to learn and grow into successful individuals. Curriculum Principles Pupils at Victoria Primary School learn through a curriculum that will: - creatively engage, inspire and be fun - be purposeful and relevant to the lives of families in our community - celebrate every pupil’s social and cultural background whilst also teaching the British values that make us ‘one’ - embrace, nurture and highlight every pupil’s uniqueness - open their eyes to new ideas, perspectives, activities and experiences - use real, hands-on experiences from the many rich resources on our doorstep - be academically cohesive so that pupils make intuitive links across their learning, including through opportunities to apply their growing English and Mathematics skills - be flexible enough to be truly inclusive of all learning needs - provide challenge for all - be enabled through the passion of the staff team Through these principles, Victoria Primary School pupils will become independent and positive members of society who consistently demonstrate the qualities of our school motto: Work Hard - Be Kind. | |
