Curriculum Rationale

We believe that children have the right to learn the necessary knowledge and skills to become life-long learners. At Kidmore End CE Primary School, we are all learners together, using skills to acquire new knowledge and deepen our understanding of the complex world around us.

We strive to provide a curriculum for our children that is ‘rich and memorable’.  Through a rich and creative approach to the national curriculum, key texts that have been carefully curated, we deepen understanding and encourage mastery. We facilitate opportunities for children to learn and remember things; to gain and build essential knowledge and skills through an interconnected webs of concepts that can be applied to all aspects of life in, and beyond, the primary classroom. Subjects are carefully chosen and planned to enthuse and engage learners, develop a secure understanding and build a range of transferable skills. 

At the heart of our curriculum is a commitment to nurture a love of reading as this opens the door to all learning; books form the foundations of all subjects and all pupils are encouraged to read widely, developing an extensive vocabulary, sound comprehension skills and a voracious appetite for books. 

Our aim is simple, to enable children to become life-long learners who respect British and Christian values, are internationally and culturally minded and who have an acute awareness of themselves, their community and the ever-changing world around them.
