The Primary Futura Curriculum is both ambitious and inspirational. It provides access and entitlement to powerful knowledge, ensuring enjoyment and promoting the very best life chances. Children experience a wide breadth of study and have, by the end of each key stage, long-term memory of an ambitious body of procedural and semantic knowledge. Our progressive curriculum, from 3-19 years ensures that children have the requisite knowledge to proceed to their next year of study, including transition to secondary school. Our curriculum is ambitious for all and strives to address inclusion and disadvantage in its intent and implementation.

The curriculum encapsulates our trust values:

Respect

• Each school has its own distinctive identity; this will be reflected in the local context of its curriculum
• The curriculum will be planned progressively across the phases, to build on previous learning and prepare pupils for their next stage.

Opportunities

• A rich and diverse curriculum, both inside and outside the classroom, which exceeds the full intent of the National Curriculum
• A curriculum that enables success for all pupils regardless of their starting points.

Collaboration

• A coherently sequenced 2-19 curriculum curated by our subject experts
• A curriculum that is enhanced by cross-trust experiences.

Aspiration

• The curriculum in each school is designed to prepare learners for the next stage of their education, giving them the knowledge and cultural capital needed to succeed in their adult life
• A curriculum that introduces pupils to a range of experiences and knowledge that broadens their horizons and prepares them for life as global citizens
• A wider curriculum that promotes emotional, physical and spiritual wellbeing. All our schools follow the Futura Curriculum that has been developed by cross-phase groups of passionate subject specialists. The curriculum has been planned vertically and horizontally giving thought to the optimum knowledge sequence for building secure schema. Progression through the curriculum is by shared age related expectations.

Everyone at Wansdyke Primary School is proud of the curriculum we deliver as we know that is accessible to all children, will prepare them for later life and inspire them to continue a love of learning.
