Curriculum Statement

At Meadhurst Primary School, we bring out the best in every pupil through an inclusive, enriching curriculum built on a strong foundation of fundamental skills. Our pupils become confident, life-long learners who are ready for the future.

Our schemes of learning are designed to develop a language rich curriculum and diverse experience, aiming to prepare our children for lifelong learning. Children will engage in the learning through stimulating and exciting opportunities which promote curiosity, enrich experience and sustain learning. Underpinning each theme or unit of work is a core body of knowledge and skills that is systematically taught, revised, and revisited to ensure that learning is committed to the long-term memory. Our flexible approach ensures all children to learn to thrive, overcome challenges, and achieve personally and academically.

Curriculum aims

  • Provide a broad and balanced education for all pupils that’s coherently planned and sequenced towards cumulatively sufficient knowledge for skills and future learning and employment.
  • Enable pupils to develop knowledge, understand concepts and acquire skills, and be able to choose and apply these in relevant situations.
  • Support pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.
  • Promote a positive attitude towards learning.
  • Ensure equal access to learning for all pupils, with high expectations for every pupil and appropriate levels of challenge and support.
  • Have a high academic ambition for all pupils.
  • Teach the values of respect, resilience, honesty, kindness and trust to ensure each child thrives in society.

Parental Consent and Right to Withdraw:

Religious Education: we follow the Surrey Locally Agreed Syllabus. Understanding the beliefs and opinions of other is an important part of demonstrating mutual respect and tolerance (one of the defined British Values). Religious and Non-Religious Worldviews (such as humanism) are taught to raise understanding and awareness. Parents do have a right to withdraw their child from Religious Education and should book an appointment with the Headteacher via the office should you wish to pursue this option.

Relationship and Health Education: Opportunities to understand the content of the parts of the curriculum related to puberty and human reproduction are provided to parents before these are taught. We will also seek parental consent. Should you wish to withdraw consent please do book a meeting with one of the senior leadership teams who will meet with you. Please note that the Science aspects of the curriculum related to this are statutory and children cannot be withdrawn from these elements.
