Our Curriculum

The Curriculum is all the planned activities that the school organises in order to promote learning, personal growth and development.

Curriculum Policy and Statement of Intent

It includes not only the formal requirements of the National Curriculum, but also the range of additional opportunities that the school organises in order to enrich the experiences of our children. This includes an ever growing range of ‘Enjoyment and Enrichment’ opportunities available to our children across all year groups. We have added further information about Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural Development and how we promote British values at our school. Parents will also find our Thinking Maps Guide for Parents useful for supporting your children at home with their learning.

Shincliffe C. of E. Primary School was awarded ‘Outstanding’ from Ofsted in 2007. The school continues to maintain high standards believing that education has to continually improve. Shincliffe CE Primary School aims to maximise social and academic potential for every pupil on their exciting school journey.

Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)

At Shincliffe CE Primary School we believe that inclusive education means providing all pupils with appropriate education and support alongside their peers. The Curriculum is all the planned activities that the school organises in order to promote learning, personal growth and development. Further information can be found in the SEN Information Report. If you would like to discuss your SEND requirements in detail please contact the school to arrange an appointment.

What is Thrive?

Thrive is a whole school approach to support children with their emotional and social development to enable them to engage with learning. Early identification of emotional development needs builds resilience and reduces the risk of mental illness.
