The Donisthorpe Primary School Curriculum

At Donisthorpe Primary School we strive to provide an engaging, relevant and broad curriculum which equips our children with the knowledge, skills and personal qualities necessary to lead a fulfilling and rewarding life.

Our curriculum is built around the objectives set out in the National Curriculum which covers the following subjects: English, Mathematics, Science, Computing, History, Geography, Art and Design, Design Technology, Music, Physical Education, Languages and Personal Social Health and Economic Education (PSHE). Religious Education is also part of our curriculum.

We aim for our children to become:

Responsible Citizens who aim to inspire others and make a positive contribution to society
Successful Learners who enjoy learning, make progress and achieve
Confident Individuals who are able to live safe, healthy and fulfilling lives

We encourage a view of learning that will:

Make learning meaningful, relevant and engaging
Involve children in enquiry-led approaches to learning that involve exploration, risk-taking, discovery and speculation
Increase children’s sense of responsibility for what and how they learn
Allow them to develop their character

The following documents map out how the curriculum will be approached during the year, supported by the detail of the National Curriculum and the knowledge and skills that we teach the children.
