Our Curriculum

As a school we teach in study units, which incorporate several areas of the curriculum into one unit. We believe that this allows for a deeper level of creativity and thinking to be developed.

Through ensuring a strong moral and cultural development, our school can actively demonstrate promotion of British Fundamental Values, through age appropriate activities and our curriculum.

Throughout our curriculum skills will be revisited several times to ensure that the child understands it fully and is able to apply the learning independently in a range of different contexts.

We have worked closely with our locality primary schools and The Weald Secondary in developing our curriculum to ensure that there are clear expectations for all pupils in our locality group.

We continue to work together in order to ensure consistency of standards.

Cur Intent

our intent

At Rudgwick Primary School, our curriculum is delivered through our core values of INSPIRE, BELIEVE and ACHIEVE. It involves every interaction, from their very first day, and is designed to offer rich and exciting learning experiences. Children are at the heart of everything we do.

Whilst ensuring a keen focus on developing strong core skills across reading, writing and maths, our intent is for children to immerse themselves in our “85 Rudgwick Experiences”, which develop a range of key skills and qualities, allowing them to become well-rounded and enthusiastic learners. We encourage resilience and a Growth Mindset approach in all they do.

We achieve this through a clearly structured and coherent curriculum which is delivered through excellent teaching. It is carefully sequenced so all children can make connections in their learning, across all subjects, enabling them to know more and remember more. Our curriculum is made accessible for all learners and adaptations are made across all subjects to provide every child with the opportunity to succeed. The children are provided with the opportunity to learn at their own pace and develop and celebrate their own unique interests and talents.

We are proud of our ambitious and varied curriculum, which our children speak passionately about. From expert music tuition in every class, to learning a new language from Reception onwards; from a variety of residential trips, to our bespoke Woodland Learning in our very own woodland, our children experience an inspiring and engaging learning journey.

When our children leave us, we want them to understand themselves as learners, know how to keep themselves safe, be confident in their own abilities and have positive memories of their time with us at Rudgwick Primary School.
