At Arnhem Wharf Primary School we believe in providing a rich, challenging, creative, and inspiring curriculum that meets all children’s needs, allowing them to progress and achieve. Our view of how children learn is at the heart of our curriculum. We know they thrive when challenged in a safe environment to learn independently and cooperatively. We encourage our teachers to support children to ‘flounder intelligently’ and grapple with challenging concepts to help build their resilience and ability to tackle unfamiliar situations and ideas with confidence. Our curriculum provides plentiful opportunities for this so that every child can access a curriculum that enables them to excel during their time with us and leave us having established a lifelong love of learning.
We are proud of the many ways that we enrich the curriculum at Arnhem Wharf. We believe strongly in the power of the arts to help children express themselves as well as to support the achievement of high standards. Participation in concerts, strings lessons, performing Shakespeare in a theatre to a live audience, and taking part in musicals are just some of the provisions we offer to all students.
The Arnhem Wharf curriculum is not limited to the classroom. We believe children are always learning and that what we model for them and ask them to do in the playground, the dining hall or the corridor is just as important as what we do in class. All adults work hard with children to help them develop the ability to make responsible choices about their learning and their behavior.
Our curriculum is designed to meet the needs of all children. As we are an inclusive school this means that we work hard to ensure all our children can access the curriculum and to learn and progress whatever their starting point.
