The curriculum is broadly described as the planned learning experiences that the school provides its pupils.

At Cheriton Primary we  offer a curriculum which includes the national curriculum but has a key aim of developing children to be the very best that they can be in all aspects of their lives.

The curriculum is built on the seven values of the school: ambition, collaboration, determination, kindness, respect, responsibility, wellbeing.

Subject leaders have carefully mapped the each subject from the National Curriculum to ensure that we deliver subject knowledge and skills at an appropriate level and in a sequential way. Our curriculum is based on two 'cycles' of learning (Cycle A and Cycle B). We have carefully mapped the order of units within and between these cycles to ensure that skills and knowledge are developed logically and pupils can build on prior experiences to enhance their learning.

When planning the delivery of the curriculum we use a range of approaches to enhance the learning.

Planning overviews for Key Stage 1 and 2

As our classes in Key Stage 1 and 2 have  two year groups in them, our curriculum is planned in a two year cycle for each class. The curriculum overviews which show which units of work will be taught in each half term of the two year cycle can be viewed via these links:

 Class 2- Years 1 & 2

Class 3- Years 3 & 4

Class 4 - Years 5 & 6

For each National Curriculum subject we have written an Intent Statement which clearly sets out what knowledge and skills and attitudes all children, by the end of year 6, will have learnt in each subject. We have then identified for each subject, the key elements which will be taught during their journey through the school. We aim to deliver the requirements of the National Curriculum in its entirety  but these key elements provide a focus for their learning. Known as the Golden Threads, these elements will be taught in depth to allow deep learning to occur which builds on prior learning and will support future learning in the subject.

We want our curriculum to have real depth and relevance for the learners.
