Enrichment Curriculum

Welcome To Our Enrichment Curriculum

Our curriculum is currently under review. Please check back here shortly to see our revamped units of work for each year group.

Our enrichment curriculum encompasses all the subjects of the National Curriculum. It has been specifically designed to ensure rigour in the development of subject specific knowledge and skills. Consideration has been given to the progression in each subject, ensuring our children are enabled to think deeply and build sophisticated schema. It makes certain children are able to understand how the new information they are being taught fits with that already known, so that they can develop coherent skillsets to become historians, musicians, artists, designers, geographers, scientists and programmers.

Children here set the foundations for becoming life-long learners, who are excited by challenge and gain joy from acquiring new skills and knowledge.

As a church school, our Christian ethos is at the heart of all we do. Our work as a school and our curriculum are underpinned by the values of: Cherishing and Compassion, Inspiration and Resilience, Hope and Forgiveness, Unity and Diversity.

We equip children to have 'hope and a future' and are prepared to be innovative and bold with our curriculum delivery. Our children need to receive outstanding education in all areas of the curriculum and we aim to ensure it provides the motivation, the skills, and the level of challenge that make this possible.

The Churchill Enrichment Curriculum is designed to help pupils:

1. To develop lively, curious and enquiring minds, together with a positive desire to learn, to question and discuss rationally, and to apply themselves intelligently to tasks.

2. To experience the joy and satisfaction of creativity.

3. To consider the religious, spiritual and moral values of others, and to consider their own attitudes, values and beliefs.

4. To acquire knowledge and skills which prepare them well for secondary education and which are relevant, in a changing world, to their adult lives at work and at leisure.

5. To understand the history and present condition of their own society and the world in which they live and the interdependence of individuals, groups and nations.

6. To develop a sense of self-respect and individual worth, a capacity to live as independent, self-motivated adults and the ability to live and work in co-operation with others.

7. To develop positive qualities of empathy and imagination and an appreciation of human achievement and endeavour.

Please Note:

We have recently updated our curriculum and changed the provider for some subjects. In this transition year, there are a couple of necessary changes to topics, so that we can ensure that all children have full coverage and that there are no topics repeated. Please see below the transition topic grid for History and Geography for 2024-25. Yellow topics are topics which are being taught in the correct year group, but at a different point in the year. Green topics are topics taken from another year group to ensure coverage.

Please note that in the UK parents have a right to withdraw their child from Religious Education. As a Church of England school, this is highly unusual for any parent to exercise this right, but if it is something you would like to discuss, please contact the school office to make an appointment with the headteacher.

To find out more about any aspect of our school curriculum, please contact the school office who will be able to put you in touch with the relevant subject leader.
