Our A.B,C of Learning – Aspire, Believe, Connect

Our curriculum intent is for every learner to understand and appreciate what it means to be a 21st century citizen, we wish for our children to develop as globally aware, caring, healthy, creative and enterprising individuals, full of self-belief and confidence. We desire our children to be resilient, respectful and tolerant; all values we believe that our learners will need in order to be successful in meeting the demands of modern society and an ever changing world.

We will implement this by providing a skills based, knowledge rich curriculum that centers on the development of ‘Mind, Heart and Body’. Our curriculum will provide our children with the opportunity to explore and steer their learning based on the issues that matter to them. Teaching staff will act in the role of ‘facilitators of learning’, developing a connectedness with our children through meaningful consultation with them. We will seek to develop high quality oracy, literacy, numeracy, technical and creative skills throughout the primary phase by outlining a stepped approach to skills development in each of these areas. We will all go on this journey together with overarching half termly whole school foci for learning.

The impact of this will be that all of our children will experience a curriculum that is fit for purpose and become independent, empowered individuals who see the value of lifelong learning. Our children will develop an insatiable curiosity and the ability to learn from each other. Our learners will leave Runwell knowing the responsibility of their role as global citizens as we shall create collaborators, innovators, leaders and above all else; young people who understand what it means to be human.

Our Creative Curriculum

At Runwell Community Primary School we have designed a broad and balanced curriculum that inspires and engages our pupils whilst meeting the National Curriculum requirements. Our topic based curriculum is inspired by Cornerstones for Education. The curriculum is delivered through exciting knowledge-rich projects which provide a range of exciting and motivating learning activities that make links between all aspects of children’s learning. Pupils will progress through four stages of learning in each project – Engage, Develop, Innovate and Express. To find out more about the Cornerstones Curriculum please follow the link below:
