National Curriculum
Edmondsley Primary and Nursery School is committed to providing an education that includes and stimulates all children, regardless of ability. We have pupils with a wide range of abilities and different needs and endeavour to include them in all activities, providing them with the opportunity to fulfil their full potential. We recognise that some pupils will need extra support and adaptations to access the school curriculum and to participate in school activities.
School Curriculum Intent
Our school curriculum is designed:
- to provide a relevant, progressive and well-structured academic curriculum which enables children to develop and master a broad knowledge and wide range of skills in a language rich environment.
- to provide ambitious and challenging learning experiences indoors and outdoors which motivates and inspires all learners.
- to enable our children to be respectful and successful in terms of being able to find employment in the future, to maintain healthy lifestyles and to be moral citizens

Curriculum Impact
We will assess the impact that our curriculum has on our children by whether they have mastered the subject-specific knowledge defined in our long term plans in Key Stage 1 and 2 and if children have achieved Early Learning Goals at the end of Reception. We will use formative and summative assessments to aid in this. We understand that knowledge builds over time and children will only demonstrate effective learning as a result of a positive change to their long term memory. To continually drive improvements, the effectiveness of our school curriculum will be reviewed regularly.
Special Education Needs and Disabilities (SEND)
At Edmondsley Primary School, we believe that inclusive education means providing all pupils with appropriate education and support alongside their peers. The Curriculum is all the planned activities that the school organises in order to promote learning, personal growth and development. Further information can be found in the SEN Information Report. If you would like to discuss your SEND requirements in detail please contact the school to arrange an appointment.
