Curriculum Intent

Tickford Park Primary School provides a fully inclusive education. We have designed our curriculum to include a range of experiences, so that every child receives a full and rich curriculum, during all stages of their learning, at Tickford Park Primary School. The experiences we offer are underpinned by our culture and values, which ensures that our children benefit from a range of academic, spiritual, moral, social and cultural activities. These activities are designed to enrich the lives of our whole school community, making them proud of their British values, and the diverse society in which we live. We set high expectations for our curriculum, and believe it gives our children the skills, confidence and self-belief to lead a happy and fulfilled life. This encourages them to aim high and work towards their goals.

Children are naturally inquisitive, and to nurture their ability to think critically, ask and answer questions, investigate their natural surroundings and solve problems, our science leader works with the STEM programme (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) on projects for enriching science within the primary curriculum. As children grow up in an increasingly technologically and scientifically advanced world, they need to be scientifically literate to succeed. We understand that, in this day and age, skills in Information Technology are crucial, and so we ensure that all IT equipment is of a high quality, reflecting the importance we place on it.

In all subjects, we build in opportunities for repetition and practise so as to embed essential knowledge, skills and understanding. By revisiting previous learning, our children develop a deeper understanding of each subject, practising their skills and applying their knowledge, at their own pace, and in the best possible way for each individual child.

At Tickford Park, we are passionate about providing children with opportunities to apply their knowledge and understanding. Consequently, we offer a range of visits, and visitors, that complement their learning in school. We give our children opportunities to develop and explore the local area, as well as visiting places of interest further afield. We organise residential visits each year, in Key Stage 2, which are exciting, varied and a fantastic opportunity for relationship building.

We are also passionate about building self-esteem in our children through multiple opportunities provided for them to practise and perform creative arts; from music lessons to whole school performances and festivals.

We understand that children will only be successful learners if they are emotionally secure; therefore we have developed a curriculum that reflects the high priority we place on our children’s physical, mental health and wellbeing. Through our curriculum, we ensure that we are flexible and ready to meet, and respond to, any issues that arise. Children’s physical, mental health and wellbeing is valued as much as their academic development. In recognising the development of the whole child, pastoral support is given to children so they can fully access the curriculum. By prioritising the emotional security of our children we enable their learning to develop, and further improve. Various programmes of support are provided, where a need has been identified, which cater for the needs of individuals: self-esteem, anger management and bereavement.

PE and sport is an integral part of our curriculum; its impact on children’s well-being is well documented and we believe that being physically active allows our children to learn more effectively.

The extensive school grounds are secure and offer excellent opportunities for both formal and informal learning and play.

Our balanced approach to the curriculum is not at the expense of high standards in core subject areas. High standards, enabling children to reach national expectations and above, are vital if they are to succeed at the next stage of their education, and go on to achieve full and happy lives and careers.

​With its excellent range of experiences, our full and rich curriculum is meticulously planned to move on children’s thinking and facilitate their acquisition of knowledge, so that every pupil at Tickford Park Primary School makes excellent progress both academically and personally. We strive to ensure that every child is given the opportunity to shine and flourish.
