Curriculum Overview
We have an extraordinary family here at Broadwater Down Primary School. Our community of children, staff, parents and governors is unique to us, and so is the curriculum content that we deliver every day.
Our learners deserve a supportive, forward thinking, curriculum of recovery that enables them to feel safe and happy. We want our children to feel ready for their learning and for life beyond primary school and we will ensure that we work together so that they understand and enjoy being a respectful global citizen.
Our curriculum is driven by these underlying principles:
- Happiness and wellbeing;
- Understanding the healing process involving the loss of routine, friendships, structure, opportunity and freedom post pandemic;
- Instilling and nurturing positive character traits;
- Social and cultural capital;
- Addressing and closing the gaps in learning, especially for our most vulnerable learners;
- Progression of knowledge and skills through and beyond the National Curriculum.
All subjects within the curriculum can be divided into two categories.
Our core subjects are English (Reading, Writing, Phonics, Spelling and Grammar), Maths and Science. You can read more about them by clicking here
All the other subjects are referred to as our wider curriculum. You can find information about each of them by clicking here
