At Ospringe Primary School we believe that by developing a curriculum that is exciting and full of wonder, we can inspire our pupils and develop a love for learning and thirst for knowledge. We want the pupils at Ospringe to be able to think well and feel well so that they can contribute and belong to a better world. We want them to not only leave with the academic knowledge and skills they will need to succeed at secondary school, but also to have a love of learning and a sense of their own agency and importance in the world. We want them to feel they have a voice and a stake in the future.
We have constructed a curriculum that is ambitious and designed to give all pupils the knowledge and cultural capital they need to succeed in life.
You can find out more about our curriculum by looking at our Subject Overviews. We also add a termly curriculum letter which outlines the learning for the term on our Class Pages (under the 'Children Tab') to show how our Curriculum is put into practice.
Please find below details of our curriculum. Please note that there are two aspects of the curriculum that pupils can be withdrawn from at the request of the parent. Schools have to teach Religious Education but parents can withdraw their child for all or part of the lessons. Additionally Relationships and Sex Education is compulsory for all primary school pupils, however, parents can ask to withdraw their child from parts or all of Sex Education taught as part of Relationships and Sex Education. Parents can not withdraw their child from Sex Education in the Science curriculum.
To support the children's learning we use a phonics scheme called Read Write Inc. and Accelerated Reader as a reading scheme further up the school.
