Curriculum Statement 

At Parkgate Primary School, we strive to provide a purposeful and empowering curriculum so that pupils are fully prepared for the next steps on their journey through school and the wider world. 

At the heart of our curriculum are the fundamental skills of English and Mathematics, which underpin our ambitious, exciting and vibrant curriculum.  

Our curriculum is centred around themes which drive and connect the learning for each term across the school. The fundamental aims of our curriculum drivers are to ensure that every pupil is given the opportunity to develop an understanding of themselves and their place in this world, to know that there or no boundaries to what they can achieve.  

We have designed our curriculum to ensure there is a careful planning programme of enrichment activities, experiences and trips in all subject areas to excite, enthuse and to extend learning beyond the classroom. Each subject is introduced with a hook to spark conversation and to navigate the learning of the topic. Our curriculum is tailored to the needs of all of our pupils. We celebrate our locality and nurture pupils understanding of the communities of which they are part of. Significant events and people have been woven through each area of our curriculum. These include local, national and international significance. The study of significant events and people brings life to our learning, meaning pupils are more likely to recall key facts and events.
