At Loughborough C of E Primary School

We want our children …

… to have the roots to grow and the wings to fly!

Because we believe …

…that every child and adult is special to God and uniquely made in his image.

And therefore we aim to provide…

…a secure and caring school in which all children flourish and thrive, by building an encouraging environment which celebrates their successes.

… a rich and inspiring curriculum which provides opportunities to spark curiosity, experiment and take risks, solve problems and be creative, so that our children become emotionally resilient, independent and aspirational life-long learners, ready to take their place in a local, global and international community and live life in all its fullness - wherever their journey takes them.

Teaching and Learning at Loughborough C of E Primary School

All children in every year group are entitled to be taught a broad, balanced and interesting curriculum that is matched to their needs, considering their previous learning and attainment. At Loughborough C of E Primary School we use a combination of published schemes of learning and Rise curriculum materials to ensure that each subject has the best possible learning sequence and knowledge progression.  

Every area of our curriculum stems from the National Curriculum. We teach all National Curriculum statutory subjects – English (including phonics), Maths, Science, ICT, History, Geography, Art, Design Technology, PE and Music, Modern Foreign Languages (French) and Religious Education. In addition, we teach Personal Social and Health Education (PSHE), which includes Relationship and Sex Education (RSE) throughout the school. Religious Education is taught weekly  so that children develop a deep understanding of faith and spirituality.  

Subjects are taught discreetly, with History, Geography, Art, D&T and Science being blocked into units of learning with daily lessons over a period of approximately 2 weeks. This approach supports the acquisition and recall of knowledge and can help to prevent overloading pupils with excessive new learning each day and each week.    

This balance of schemes, and curriculum content written by subject experts within our trust schools, ensures that we strive for excellence at all times, aiming to inspire and motivate all children through the way we teach, enabling them to flourish and succeed.
