We pride ourselves in providing pupils with an outstanding education and have strong links with our community. Our pupils are our greatest asset and they make our school a very special place. As a school we aim to ensure that all our pupils leave as happy, confident, independent learners celebrating their talents and daring to dream. Our pupils must enjoy learning and they are inspired to share their knowledge and understanding with others. We provide our pupils with an exciting, rich, and vivid curriculum that enables every child to grow, develop and exceed their potential in a safe, nurturing, positive environment. We strongly believe that our pupils should be encouraged to embrace challenges, take risks, be intrigued by mistakes, and become Life-Long Learners. At Christchurch Primary we are very proud to belong to a wonderful community that contributes enormously to the success of the school. We have an amazing team of staff that are enthusiastic, committed, and passionate about ensuring every child fulfills their potential. Our Aims and Values: Aim for everyone to be Life-Long Learners. Respect and support each other. Embrace challenges and take risks. Value everyone. Are positive and have an enthusiasm for learning. Are good role models. Have high expectations. Encourage responsibility. Provide a safe and enjoyable learning environment where children can thrive. Offer a broad, balanced, creative, and enriching curriculum. Develop problem-solving and teamwork skills. Embrace diversity and respect differences. The curriculum we offer our children is varied, rich, and relevant. It consists of all the learning activities, experiences, and interactions that promote our school values, meet the requirements of the National Curriculum and also include what we believe is important for our children’s all-around development. We have updated our schemes of work to reflect the content and challenge of the new National Curriculum and our staff have received training in the key areas of curriculum change. The National Curriculum in England sets out the knowledge and skills to be taught in all state-funded schools. It states that all state schools must offer a curriculum that is balanced and which promotes the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental, and physical development of pupils at the school and society and prepares pupils at the school for the opportunities, responsibilities, and experiences of later life. We aim to deliver a broad, balanced, relevant, and exciting curriculum that is designed to develop a love of learning which will last a lifetime and cover the physical, spiritual, moral, social, aesthetic, literate, mathematic, and scientific development of our pupils. Provision is made for additional help to be given to individual chil­dren where this is considered to be beneficial. We use a thematic topic-based approach with younger children as a vehicle to teach all areas of the curriculum and develop basic skills. It is essential that we also teach Personal, Social, Health, and Economic Education, and seek to ensure that cross-curricular issues of global and environmental education and equality of opportunity are included in all topics as part of our aim to offer a curriculum that goes beyond the confines of the National Curriculum to educate the whole child.
