Curriculum overview

Curriculum Intent

•  Inspire the children to develop their knowledge and skills so that they can protect and appreciate our local community, the wider   community and the planet for the future to come. (Community in the wider world)

• Nurture confident, articulate, lifelong learners who can show empathy and compassion towards others. (Emotional and social awareness)

• Develop inquisitive; independent; imaginative and determined individuals who are not deterred by difficulty, and aspire without limit. (New possibilities)

At Edgar Sewter Primary, we firmly believe in the importance of educating the whole child. As

such, we have decided that today, tomorrow and in the future, we will be better at developing:

Our Local Community within the Wider World

Embracing our local heritage: inspiring pupils by finding out what is all around us and why; then using this to ensure that we are a positive contributor to the local infrastructure by joining in with, and inviting people in to support us with learning and development opportunities – ensuring that we flourish in our worlds. 

Emotional and Social Awareness

Raising awareness of societal issues: engaging with democratic processes, nurturing pupils to gain greater understanding of, and confidence in sharing views, (and respecting those of others), opinions and discussions with our peers and other members of our society. 

New Possibilities

Being the best that we can be for the modern world: by fully understanding our place in wider society, and accepting and embracing the positions of others, whilst persevering and doing our very best to ensure that we achieve a bright future for ourselves and future generations on this planet.
