Curriculum Intent

Through a journey of faith and exploration, we strive to enable all to grow as resilient life-long learners who value themselves and others.  Rooted in God's love and our Christian values, we are a nurturing, inclusive community where all can flourish and achieve their full potential.

At Eastchurch CofE Primary School our curriculum is driven and shaped by our school vision and values of Forgiveness, Kindness, Courage, Love, Respect and Honesty; which are at the centre of everything we do.

We have created a curriculum that is aspirational and committed to providing all of our pupils with the knowledge and skills needed to thrive and succeed. The curriculum is stimulating and engaging, providing pupils with a range of experiences through well-established links with the local community and church. We aim to develop a life-long love of learning that continually builds on prior knowledge. To do this we deliver lessons that are imaginative, stimulating and thoughtfully planned. The priority for all our pupils is to develop the skills necessary to be successful throughout their educational career and beyond. We aim to embed the skills of Reading, Writing and Maths throughout the curriculum as well as developing a strong foundation of spiritual awareness and a faith in their own abilities.

At Eastchurch CofE Primary School we provide a learning environment that is nurturing and inclusive whilst providing the scaffolding to enable all of our children to grow as resilient life-long learners. Through a journey of exploration and risk taking, pupils will develop belief and self-confidence, enabling them to achieve their full potential and flourish throughout their education.

We pride ourselves on ensuring that the physical and mental well-being of all pupils is a high priority. This is achieved by developing the pupil’s understanding of our Christian Values that are rooted in God’s Love and how these will impact on their role in the society of the future.

“All leaders and staff serve and nurture their school community, including its wider families. ‘Being wanted’, ‘being loved’ and ‘being part of a family’ are consistently offered as reasons by parents and governors for children’s enthusiasm for school.” (SIAMS, 2023)
