Curriculum

Our curriculum at Willenhall Community Primary School is underpinned by our five values: Growth, Honesty, Kindness, Responsibility and Respect. Our overarching value is that of community which encompasses our school ethos and curriculum. 

We, as a whole school community, provide our pupils with a curriculum which gives them the skills and knowledge needed for them to develop as a whole child. This, to us, means supporting each and every pupil in achieving their very best, tailoring the curriculum to meet the needs of everyone in our care and providing them with opportunities to develop their own strengths and passions to enable them to succeed now and in the future. 

We provide our children with lifelong learning and have developed a curriculum which has purpose and meaning to engage and excite our pupils. We ensure all children have experiences which broaden their knowledge and allow them to see and apply learning in other contexts. 

High quality texts and vocabulary is an essential part of our curriculum, providing children with the experiences, language and understanding to develop in all aspects of their education and personal life 

We, as a staff, care about our pupils and want the very best for them and their future. We strive to develop a sense of belonging to a community and want all children to feel valued.

At Willenhall Community Primary School we offer a curriculum which builds on the knowledge, understanding and skills of all pupils, whatever their starting points, as they progress through each Key Stage. The curriculum incorporates the statutory requirements of the National Curriculum 2014 and other experiences and opportunities which best meet the learning and developmental needs of the pupils in our school.

We place a strong emphasis on developing the core key skills within English, and Maths, while at the same time providing pupils with opportunities to apply their skills and knowledge across curriculum areas .

Specialist teachers deliver PE in Reception classes, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2.
