Bugbrooke Community Primary School
Our Curriculum
'The school has developed a broad and challenging curriculum. Across the full range of subjects, staff have carefully identified exactly what pupils will learn. The important knowledge is sequenced effectively to help pupils build their knowledge as they progress from the early years through to the end of Year 6. This means that they are well prepared for the next stage. ‘Wow days’ enhance the curriculum further by offering pupils memorable experiences. For example, visits to Flag Fen and Holdenby House help to bring the history curriculum to life.' OFSTED 2025.
Our aim is to provide a broad, balanced and engaging curriculum that will ensure that children develop not only the skills and knowledge that they need for their future lives, but also an enthusiasm for life-long learning. It is for this reason that we are continually reviewing our curriculum; we are adapting and shaping it to reflect the needs of our learners today - and will continue to shape and adapt as they do! With this in mind our curriculum is based on the following key drivers; Diversity, Sustainability and Being the Best You Can Be!
Our expectations for children's achievement are high; we want them all to achieve well in the core areas of reading, writing, maths and our curriculum is designed to underpin this. However, we also want them to apply these skills in real life situations which reflect their place in the wider world. We believe passionately that one of our most important jobs is to prepare our children to take their place as future citizens in the wider world, citizens who must learn to live in a constantly changing, global community.
We work hard to help our children develop a sense of self-responsibility, a caring attitude to the environment and to others regardless of race, creed, sex or social class. We plan learning tasks which help them to see their place in the local community and provide opportunities within the curriculum for them to develop their appreciation of our village environment.
Teachers spend a considerable amount of time planning teaching to meet children’s needs. We help them develop a good awareness of the local environment and the wider world, so that they respect and value their place in it.
Subject Coverage
At Bugbrooke Community Primary School, we have carefully chosen topics and units of work to both support the teaching of the National Curriculum and our School Drivers and Values. For some subjects, we have chosen schemes of work that we feel match our aims, but have adapted these to ensure they are fit for our pupils. In History and Geography we have created our own bespoke curriculum that is progressive, fit for purpose and inspiring to all.
