Curriculum at Cheriton
At Cheriton Bishop Community Primary School, our intent is for pupils to achieve the best possible progress and outcomes within each subject through the provision of a curriculum that is broad, balanced and rich in experiential learning. We have developed a 2 year rolling curriculum based on the National Curriculum, the EYFS curriculum, Devon and Torbay RE syllabus, and the PSHE/SRE curriculum. We have designed our curriculum to enable pupils to flourish and develop character within our school ethos, underpinned by our school values and vision.
We seek for our pupils to develop a love of learning and curiosity for the wider world with an understanding of the impact they can have on others and the world beyond. We seek to help our pupils develop confidence, resilience and a capital of knowledge and skills that they can grow throughout their primary experience; preparing our pupils well for their next steps. Our curriculum seeks to broaden horizons, ignite passions, nurture talents and make connections in learning as well as positive human connections.
Our curriculum is aspirational and enriched by a wide range of opportunities, living out our Trust vision of ‘Small Schools, Big Opportunities’.
The National Curriculum
Our school curriculum includes the ‘National Curriculum’ and EYFS curriculum as well as RE, PSHE and sex & relationships curriculums.
The National Curriculum is a statutory curriculum document used by primary and secondary schools. It covers what subjects are taught and the standards children should reach in each subject.
The National Curriculum is organised into blocks of years called ‘key stages’ (KS). At the end of each key stage, the teacher will assess pupil progress and outcomes.
