Our Curriculum

Our Vision is to develop a learning community where all children enthusiastically participate, excel and are proud of their achievements across the curriculum.

At Goldthorn Park Primary School we aim to provide all children with a curriculum which is broad, well balanced and above all stimulates the children to learn. We promote the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of pupils and seek to prepare them for opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of later life.

​

When planning our curriculum we consider our principles, local issues, cultural capital, subject topics and high expectations for all our pupils. We deliver the programmes of study that meet the requirements of the EYFS and National Curriculum 2014.

The subjects taught are English, Mathematics, Science, Art and Design, Computing, Design and Technology, Languages, Geography, History, Music, Physical Education and PSHE. The teaching of Religious Education is statutory in all schools and we follow the Wolverhampton SACRE Syllabus.

​

English and Mathematics teaching are a fundamental part of each day and children may be organised into "sets" for each of these subjects in order to better accommodate the varying needs of children. Teachers seek to make as many cross curricular links as possible so that skills taught in these subjects can be applied in a range of contexts.

​

The Dimensions curriculum we use is underpinned by four highly relevant world issues, known as the four Cs: 

​

The thread of independence runs through all that we do.

Through a positive and caring environment, we provide the opportunity for every child to reach their full potential in all areas of the curriculum.
