Our Curriculum Vision

At St. Peter’s Church of England Primary School, our vision is to provide every child with a high-quality, broad and balanced education that meets individual needs and enables all learners to flourish.

Our curriculum is rooted in Christian values and underpinned by the National Curriculum. Through a progressive and carefully sequenced approach, we aim to foster a love of learning, promote academic excellence, develop creativity, and build character. We equip pupils with the knowledge, skills, and values they need to succeed academically and personally, and to thrive as responsible global citizens.

The St. Peter’s Curriculum is ambitious and challenging for all pupils and utilises high-quality schemes of learning to ensure consistency and excellence across all subjects. 

It is coherently planned to build on prior knowledge and prepare children for future learning.

Our school’s unique coastal setting enriches learning opportunities.  We embrace our rich local history and unique coastal location, making full use of our vibrant community and surroundings to enhance learning. We take pride in participating in local curriculum projects that bring real-world experiences into the classroom

Each subject use a mastery approach to ensure pupils develop a deep understanding of each subject. Learning is further enriched through trips, visits, and extra-curricular activities that broaden horizons and develop personal and social skills.

We believe every child’s journey at St. Peter’s should be joyful and inspiring, nurturing curiosity and a lifelong love of learning. Our curriculum enables pupils to flourish and experience “life in all its fullness.”

Assessment

  • White Rose Maths assessments
  • Headstart Reading Assessments and Use of Accelerated Reader in KS2
  • Phonics screening
  • Writing moderation
