Curriculum

At Kings Road Primary we continually strive towards delivering a broad, balanced and ambitious curriculum for our children. Our aim is to ensure all pupils are given opportunities to attain the knowledge, skills and share in memorable experiences needed to achieve and feel inspired through their learning. At the heart of everything we do is our ambition for children to become ‘Learners for Life’. Through our meticulously designed curriculum, aligned to the National Curriculum requirements, we aim to provide the building blocks for all children to achieve both academic success to take pride in their own personal achievements.

As a staff, we have worked together to select a range of topics which we believe will provide wide and varied opportunities for achievement and will promote engagement and enthusiasm from our children. Through this cross curricular approach, we aim to nurture pupils’ skills and creativity and know through creating these links, skills will be anchored into knowledge to create understanding.

Our curriculum is designed to meet the needs of our diverse community; our core values underpin and drive our curriculum, permeating all areas of our school life.

At Kings Road, children are taught to respect everyone and through our curriculum have opportunities to learn, develop and share empathy, compassion and understanding to those other than ourselves, recognising that through respect we are all able to receive support to achieve our dreams.
Children come to recognise that in life we may all face elements of challenge and adversity on our journey to achieving success. Through our encouragement of resilience, children are taught to apply a growth mindset and to adopt a sense of rigour when faced with something that initially, they find difficult. This is something that we see our children encouraging independently with their peers, refusing to let others struggle when they encounter challenges.
Our aim is that through teamwork, children can strive to achieve whatever they set their minds on, recognising that there are times when we need to be nurtured by the knowledge and skills of others to help us grow.
At Kings Road, we promote aspiration at all times, encouraging our children to aspire to be the best that they can be. This approach allows children to feel confident in themselves, developing the abilities and mindset they need to succeed in all aspects of life.
We encourage and inspire children to take pride in all they accomplish, recognising that when we take pride in our achievements. The results can spur us on to engage and succeed in other projects and experiences.

Through the incorporation of these values into our curriculum, we aim to support pupil’s spiritual, moral, social and cultural development, which will enable them to appreciate and understand the diverse community in which they live, and that of the world beyond.
