Our Curriculum
At St Bees Village School, we believe in the concept of lifelong learning for both adults and children. We maintain that learning should be a rewarding and enjoyable experience for everyone; it should be fun and challenging, and draw on the resources of the local area, utilising all that is to offer outside of the classroom to enhance children’s learning. As a group of leaders and educators, we know what we are offering and why. Applying our own up to date subject knowledge, we have carefully mapped out the key concepts, knowledge and skills that we expect the children to acquire at each stage of their learning, from EYFS to Year 6, in each subject, in its own right. This careful sequencing allows children to build on their prior knowledge and understanding of a concept and to deepened this, year on year, thereby enabling every individual to strive and believe, value themselves and others, and succeed. This knowledge acquisition is ambitious and wide-ranging; all children are supported to be successful by adapting teaching to meet need. We believe that it is our moral purpose as educators to ensure that every child has access to this rich knowledge of the world around them, both past and present, so that they can apply it in their futures.
