Our Curriculum

The Moor Park Curriculum enables all pupils to 'Do More, Know More and Remember More' throughout their journey in our school. 

 

Curriculum overview and design 

We have designed our curriculum using the discreet teaching of subjects and with an understanding of our pupils to meet their needs and build on their interests. It has been designed to respond to the particular needs of our community and to meet our curriculum goals.

Our curriculum goals are:

1. To give pupils appropriate experiences to develop as confident, resilient, responsible citizens who can problem solve and show initiative
2. To provide rich cultural capital experiences
3. To provide a coherent, structured academic curriculum that leads to greater depth of understanding  for those who are capable.

 

 Our curriculum has been developed for each year group by our teachers and leaders to ensure a structured progression of skills to allow children to become artists, historians, geographers, scientists and so on. Our curriculum is enriched with real life opportunities and engaging activities to bring learning to life. Through our curriculum we aim to enable our children to be positive, happy and excited to learn. We also have a number whole school 'themed’ days/weeks such as Science week. These give the children in all year groups the opportunity to share an experience, learn a skill together and apply knowledge previously taught.

 

There are four main curriculum drivers that shape our curriculum, bring about the aims and values of our school and respond to the particular needs of our community:

1. Community – helping our pupils know and feel part of the local community, the national community and the world
2. Possibilities – which help pupils to build aspirations and know available possibilities for their future lives ambitions
3. Communication – helping our pupils become confident communicators

 

 

  Our Curriculum Model

 

Curriculum Structure 

The curriculum for each year group is planned and developed to meet the needs of our pupils. Teaching subjects discreetly allows time for pupils to revisit and master curriculum areas and provides opportunities for children to learn new skills and apply previously learned skills. The threshold concepts for each subject are progressive and the milestones at each stage define the standards for each threshold subject.

Our curriculum is delivered with a desire to create life-long learners. Children are encouraged to be independent, make mistakes and challenge themselves to achieve their best. Our curriculum celebrates the individual skills and talents of our pupils and provides opportunities for them to develop these talents. 

 

At Moor Park Primary School all class teachers are responsible for providing a curriculum that is suitable for all pupils in the class, including those with Special Educational Needs or Disabilities (SEND) with support from the SENCO. We are committed to ensuring our curriculum complies with the Equality Act 2010 and the Special Educational Needs and Disability Regulations 2014. 

 

Our Moor Park Curriculum meets the statutory requirements of the National Curriculum (2014). If you would like to know more about the National Curriculum you can use the following link: The National Curriculum in England
