CURRICULUM OVERVIEW AND APPROACH

At Queen's Park Primary School, we want all children to leave us ready to:

Bravely navigate a changing world with curiosity, confidence and joy

We have designed a transformational curriculum —a dynamic journey that fosters life-long learning and empowers our children to become critical thinkers and contributors to a diverse and interconnected world. 

Our curriculum is designed to be accessible to all, embracing inclusivity and representing the richness of our local and global community. It is an experiential adventure, where learning is brought to life through hands-on exploration, sparking curiosity and inquisitive minds. 

We believe in the power of fun and excitement as catalysts for meaningful learning experiences. The enrichment of our curriculum offer goes beyond traditional boundaries, creating a sense of awe and inspiring students to explore pathways to success that align with their unique talents and aspirations. 

In this developmental landscape, our curriculum is both robust and well-structured, providing a balanced blend of progressive, innovative and research based approaches. Through creative and challenging activities, we nurture not just academic growth but also the holistic development of our children. It is cohort-specific, tailoring learning experiences to the unique needs and interests of each year group. 

We are passionate about the importance of language as a vital tool for communication, understanding and wellbeing. Our curriculum embraces our diverse linguistic landscape, fostering an environment where every student feels a sense of belonging. 

At the end of their journey with us at Queen's Park Primary School, our children leave equipped with the essential tools of curiosity and innovation, well-prepared to confront the challenges that lie ahead. Each child will have the firm understanding that they possess the capability to achieve whatever they aspire to. 

Our Key Drivers which underpin all curriculum planning and delivery are:

• A Sense of Belonging

• Pathways to success

• Spoken Language and Communication (Oracy)

• The Power of Literature

• Irresistibility

We broaden the experience and perspective of our children in order to raise aspiration and demonstrate opportunities, such as through our links with the National Theatre, cultural community groups and local connections through, for example the "Let's Dance" and Brighton Children's parade as well as trips and visits to places such as the science museum, the seven sisters county park, and places of historical interest.
