Curriculum

At West Pelton Primary School, our curriculum statement sets out the principles underpinning the curriculum and reflects the school’s commitment to developing all aspects of our children’s lives.

At West Pelton Primary School we aim:

to provide high quality teaching and deliver a broad, balanced curriculum
to provide a challenging and stimulating learning environment
to foster a love of learning, nurturing a work ethic for each child
to foster positive attitudes, respect and sound moral judgement
to fully develop each child’s academic potential and ensure good basic skills
to engender good self esteem amongst our children
to maintain a caring, family ethos.

These are the aims of how we want to work alongside our children and underpin all of the learning that takes place in our school.
