  • Curriculum

    Inspiring every child to be extraordinary

    At Cutnall Green CofE Primary School, we want every child to enjoy learning and feel ready for the future. Our curriculum helps children think for themselves, ask questions and gain the skills they need to grow into confident, caring individuals.

    What your child will learn

    Each year, your child will study a range of subjects. Learning is carefully sequenced so that knowledge builds over time and key skills are revisited and strengthened. We link lessons to everyday experiences, so children understand why their learning matters.

    Each year group has clear units of work for every subject. Our subject pages contain:

    • a curriculum overview
    • a progression framework
    • knowledge organisers for each year and term

    How we teach

    • Learning is broken into clear steps, so children build knowledge steadily.
    • Teachers revisit key learning regularly to help children remember.
    • Vocabulary is explicitly taught in every subject.
    • Lessons include opportunities to practise, discuss and apply knowledge.
    • Learning is adapted so that all pupils can succeed.

    What children achieve

    By the end of their time at our school, pupils:

    • Have secure knowledge across all subjects.
    • Can apply their learning to solve problems.
    • Speak confidently using subject vocabulary.
    • Are well-prepared for the next stage of education.
