At Charles Kingsley’s CE Primary school we believe in providing children with an exciting, broad and balanced curriculum which provides them with first hand experiences and builds on their prior knowledge. Through our ‘Concept Led Curriculum’ and the statutory subjects, we motivate and enthuse the children through developing their abilities, interests and potential in order to prepare them for the next stage in their lives.

A “Concept Led Curriculum” is driven by big ideas rather than the subject content. By leading pupils to consider the context in which they will use their understanding, concept based learning brings real world meaning to content, knowledge and skills.

The children are at the centre of all we do and therefore we pride ourselves on personalising their learning through using a broad range of teaching strategies that take into account the ways in which children learn in order to foster engagement, motivation and creativity.

Our school bases the content of the curriculum on the National Curriculum. The National Curriculum subjects will be taught in many ways; at times some subjects may be linked together within a concept and at other times separate subject teaching will be used. The School Values Model drives the planning and teaching of all subjects.

You will find our half termly concept overviews below.
