Our Curriculum

Intent of Our Curriculum
The curriculum at Orchard Community Primary School is designed to equip pupils with the knowledge, skills and cultural capital needed for lifelong success. We aim to nurture personal traits and qualities, fostering positive behaviour and attitudes for a strong foundation. Our curriculum focuses on high standards in English and Mathematics, while also providing a broad, inspiring and ambitious education across all subjects to develop well-rounded, confident and independent learners.

Personal Development and Inclusivity
We prioritise the holistic development of our pupils, integrating values-based education that addresses moral, spiritual, social and cultural growth alongside academic achievements. Our inclusive environment celebrates individuality, promotes respect and kindness and provides a rich array of creative, sporting and cultural opportunities. Through a varied curriculum and enrichment activities, we aim to build confident, lifelong learners who are prepared for future challenges and committed to their communities.

Positive Behaviour and Lifelong Learning
Orchard Community Primary School fosters positive behaviours and attitudes, teaching pupils to respect themselves and others, and to behave with integrity and safety. Our curriculum encourages resilience, curiosity, critical thinking and effective communication. By integrating ‘Character Education’ and offering engaging learning experiences, we prepare our students to be ambitious, reflective and imaginative individuals, ready to succeed in modern society and beyond.
