Our school curriculum extends beyond the National Curriculum, providing a diverse range of enriching experiences and opportunities both in and beyond the school day. 
Our pupil passports structure our wider opportunities programme, We believe in giving all children the breath of experiences needed to develop their roles of active and responsible citizens.



To further enhance children's learning and experience, we also offer:

Whole School /federation Theme Days/ Events and Celebrations which are woven into the curriculum to extend pupils' opportunities. Examples include: Anti-bullying Week, World Book Day,  Harvest Festival,  Remembrance, Mental Health Awareness Week, Chinese New Year, Eid Ul Fitr



Community Link Events where our pupils benefit from their connection with the local community. Opportunities include: monthly Community Breakfast, singing for elderly groups, collecting for the local foodbank, and participating in annual events such as carol services and the lantern parade .



 Educational Visits and Residentials, an integral part of the education , aimed at bringing learning alive and providing first-hand experience. Pupils have visited museums, hunted for fossils, and undertaken rural and city fieldwork. Additionally, children in KS2 take part in outdoor education days and year 6 have a city residential visit, benefiting from experiences such as visiting the Houses of Parliament and the National Portrait Museum..



 Visitors into School, who deliver talks, workshops, and activities across a range of subjects.  A highlight has been a visit by a famous author, Abi Elphinstone. They give pupils access to outside experiences and expertise, providing a link with the wider community. All children worked with the AONB in the past year, focusing on the local environment and extending our historical and geographical knowledge. The Library van comes to visit and also our local book shop owner who delivers surprise book packages.
