Our Denby Free Curriculum Subjects

At Denby Free CE (Aided) Primary School, we are committed to providing a broad and balanced curriculum that inspires, nurtures, and educates our children to shine.

A Progressive, Knowledge-Rich Curriculum

Our curriculum is designed to be progressive, building upon children's prior knowledge and skills as they move through the school. We believe that a strong foundation in core subject knowledge and subject-specific skills is essential for our pupils to develop into confident, independent, and critical thinkers.

Throughout their time with us, our children will make meaningful connections between different areas of learning, enabling them to apply their knowledge and understanding in a variety of contexts. By delivering our curriculum through a range of classroom-based, outdoor, and extracurricular activities, we ensure that our pupils are engaged, motivated, and able to learn in ways that suit their individual needs and learning styles.

Inspiring a Joy in Learning

At the heart of our curriculum is a desire to inspire a lifelong love of learning in our pupils. We set high expectations for all children, providing them with opportunities to experience success and achieve their full potential, whatever their individual needs or barriers to learning may be.

Our curriculum is underpinned by our school's vision and values, which are woven throughout all aspects of school life. We aim to cultivate our pupils' spiritual, moral, social, and cultural development, enabling them to value themselves, others, and the world around them.

Preparing for the Future

Through our curriculum, we equip our children with the essential skills and knowledge they need to thrive in their next stage of education and beyond. We ensure that our pupils develop a secure grasp of literacy, numeracy, and digital skills, empowering them to make the most of the learning opportunities available to them.

We also place a strong emphasis on developing our children's understanding of their roles and responsibilities as citizens in a modern democracy, preparing them to make positive contributions to their local and global communities.

Engaging with the Wider Community

Our curriculum is further enriched by opportunities for our pupils to participate in community projects and initiatives through our courageous advocacy work. By engaging with the wider community, our children learn how to cooperate with their peers and the adults around them, and develop a deeper understanding of how their locality fits within the multicultural landscape of Great Britain.
