Curzon Curriculum Aims
The curriculum is at the centre of your child’s time at Curzon. As a C of E school we aim to embody Christian values in all that we do and those of respect, courage and kindness define our ethos. Our vision is of the mustard seed growing into a tree to protect others. We aim to teach all our pupils to be the best they can be, to think of others and how to make the world a better place.
Our Reception curriculum focuses on developing social skills as well as academic skills. Our pupils join us from a range of pre-school school settings. Activities, such as turn taking, support our pupils to make friends, self-regulate and work collaboratively with others. Strong self-image and self-esteem are promoted right from the start.
Year 1 onwards builds on this excellent foundation. We teach our pupils to become independent motivated and resilient learners.
We have high expectations for all our pupils. We teach our pupils the importance of developing skills and knowledge whilst providing a curriculum packed with varied activities and enrichment opportunities which make learning memorable, enjoyable and fun.
Our curriculum supports pupils’ social and emotional development as well as their academic progress. We provide many opportunities to support others and become advocates what is right and fair. We aim that once all our pupils have left Curzon, they will continue to live out our Curzon values and ultimately aspire to make positive contributions to society.
