We are continuously developing and enriching our curriculum in response to educational research and in partnership with other Futura schools.

We believe children learn better when they are encouraged to use their imagination and apply their learning to engaging contexts. 

Our Christian values are central to our curriculum and underpin everything we do. Our core values of kindness, respect and honesty shape the way we live together and support our response to the issues that we encounter through our curriculum.

Curriculum development

Creating this approach to curriculum takes time.  We also believe that partnering with others and learning from their expertise will make our curriculum stronger and the opportunities for the children that much richer. We have worked in ‘curriculum development groups’ made up from members of the Futura Learning Partnership teaching staff to create and review plans for each subject.

Our curriculum is knowledge rich and builds on previous learning. It provides many learning challenges throughout the academic year that require children to solve problems, apply themselves creatively and express their knowledge and understanding effectively across the curriculum. It also provides a rich menu of exciting and motivating learning activities that make creative links between all aspects of our children’s learning. 

This summary of curriculum principles from the Futura Learning Partnership shows how our curriculum benefits from our membership of the partnership and integrates with the Futura values.   

More details about the curriculum in each of our subject areas can be found below.
