The Aims of Our Curriculum

The curriculum at Bradfield CE Primary has three main priorities:

1. To build happy, resilient and empowered young people

Happiness, wellbeing and empowerment are at the heart of everything we do at Bradfield and we seek to make every child feel cared for, listened to and loved. We want our children to understand that challenges are part of life and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.  We aim to develop young people who are mentally strong, teaching them the tools and habits needed to grow and take care of themselves no matter what comes their way.  We teach them, through practical examples and opportunities, that they can be powerful agents for change in their own lives and communities.

2. To provide children with the knowledge, skills and self-awareness needed for the future.

We recognise that the future is unknown and that we are preparing our children for a rapidly advancing world where transferable skills will be increasingly important.  We seek to ensure that all children are able to express themselves articulately and that their knowledge is deep and long-lasting.

3. To provide children with a sense of belonging, connection and social responsibility.

We promote a sense of belonging in our community and encourage our children to be themselves and feel proud of who they are.  We aim to be a school with ‘No Outsiders’, where everyone is included and where inequality is challenged and diversity embraced. We actively encourage our children to stand up for what is right and to believe that they have the power to change the world on many levels.
