Statement of intent

At Belgrave St Peter's Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, we uphold Christian values and beliefs.

We are committed to:

• teaching and living the Christian way of life;
• providing quality education for all our children;
• developing respect and consideration for all members of our community.

We believe in the concept of lifelong learning and the idea that both adults and children learn new things every day. We maintain that learning should be a rewarding and enjoyable experience for everyone; it should be fun.

Our Curriculum Policy is carried out within the context and spirit of the school’s Mission Statement:

‘To be the best we can be, for God, for ourselves and for others’

Aims & Objectives

At Belgrave St Peter’s we aim to provide a rich and varied curriculum which is:

• Broad - so that it provides a wide range of knowledge, skills and experiences;
• Balanced - so that each subject has sufficient time to contribute effectively to learning;
• Relevant - so that learning can link to the pupil’s experiences and to the world at large;
• Coherent - so that topics can be linked to make the whole learning experience more meaningful;
• Progressive - so that what is taught builds in a systematic way upon what has already been learned;
• Differentiated - so that what is taught and the tasks that are set are matched to the aptitude and ability for each pupil;
• Accessible - so that there is equality of opportunity for all.

In addition, we wish to ensure a curriculum that promotes the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of pupils at the school and of society, and prepares pupils at the school for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of later life (National Curriculum 2014).

Please see our Curriculum Policy and our Class Pages for further detail of our school curriculum and procedures.
