Growing to Succeed – Curriculum Vision
Our curriculum at Asquith Primary School has been designed to have a distinct, individual identity and ethos which reflects our shared values and vision. Our school context is a key driver when planning and implementing our progressive curriculum.
We aim to equip our pupils with independence, resilience and the key skills necessary to succeed in life. Our school ethos ‘Growing to Succeed’ is at the heart of all that we do: we want our children to be motivated to learn, to persevere and aspire to achieve their full potential. Furthermore, we want our pupils to be great communicators, enthusiastic collaborators and to be respectful citizens of the world.
Intent
Our curriculum is underpinned by Five Golden Threads which are interwoven into everything we do:
High Aspirations for all – at Asquith Primary School we set high expectations for all of our children and encourage them to have high aspirations for themselves by exposing them to inspirational role-models and examples of success.
Fostering Resilience – our curriculum builds opportunities for children to experience challenges, building resilience and a positive mindset for lifelong success.
Embedding Key Skills – we have a strong focus on equipping children with the basic skills in Reading, Writing and Maths which are needed for future academic achievement.
Respecting Diversity - diversity is built into our curriculum, ensuring that children understand the positive contributions that other cultures make to our society and develop into respectful citizens of our diverse world.
Creating Global Citizens – through our curriculum, our children develop a good understanding of the wider world, developing social skills, empathy for others and knowing the important role they will play in the future of our planet.
Both within lessons and as part of wider school activities, we ensure that all our children have the opportunity to grow and succeed by:
Implementation

Impact
The impact of our curriculum is measured through regular work scrutinies, subject specific learning walks, teacher and pupil discussions and data analysis. Our carefully planned and implemented curriculum means that children achieve well, enjoy their lessons and have a wide range of experiences during their time at our school. When they leave our school, children are well-prepared for the next stage of their education, are able to make a positive contribution to their community and have the ambition, respect, resilience, skills and tenacity to face the ever-changing world of the future.
