Welcome to our Creative Curriculum Section 

At Winterslow Primary School, we value and respect the uniqueness of every child recognising and nurturing their potential for learning. Our aim, through our tailor-made curriculum, is to enable each child to participate fully in current and future society as a responsible, self-confident citizen.

We believe that our curriculum offers a balance between understanding and using knowledge as well as developing and applying skills, leading to better understanding and progression for our pupils ensuring they are ready to face the next steps in their educational journeys.

Our curriculum design at Winterslow is based on the National Curriculum requirements for EYFS, KS1 and KS2. 

Our Curriculum drivers inform the design, intent and implementation of our curriculum and ensure all children in our school leave us with the knowledge and skills to 'Explore, Discover, Sparkle as light of the world.'

Our Wider Curriculum at Winterslow 

Our Wider Curriculum at Winterslow is developed with whole school 'themes' which lead the learning each term across the school. These themes unify the learning journey of children across the school and enables classes to share and discuss their learning experiences. 

Each term, the wider curriculum is delivered through Enquiry based learning involves using a 'big question' as an overarching hook for learning. This question is too big to answer straight away and requires learning to be explored through the guide of 'micro questions'. 

Each enquiry allows children to explore, research, ask questions and respond. At the end of each enquiry, the enquiry response is a planned 'Living Museum' experience. These experiences allow children to showcase their work as a gallery to other classes and parents and are a real celebration of the learning that has taken place throughout an enquiry. Our Living Museums see a high level of parental engagement and are a wonderful way for all children to share their achievements, understanding and progress.
