Love
John 13:34 “I give you a new commandment; that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another.”
Underpinned by the core Christian value of love, Mereside C of E Primary Academy’s vision is to be at the heart of our community; supporting our children to aspire and flourish; becoming caring global citizens who celebrate and value diversity and are good neighbours to all.
Our curriculum offer is tailored to the specific needs of our pupils and around the shared vision of all stakeholders. It is based on the national curriculum but within subjects, golden threads run through that link to achieving our school vision and mission.
Knowledge and Skills
Our Curriculum Vision
At Mereside CE Primary Academy we aim to offer a creative and inclusive Curriculum which inspires, engages and challenges and in which children are partners in their own learning.
Our Curriculum Intent
We ensure that children are given opportunities to widen their knowledge and understanding of the world and learn and apply skills which will make them successful learners for life as well as enhancing their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.
Children will become confident, independent and resilient learners who are willing to take risks. They will have high aspirations and be proud of their achievements. We aim to give everyone the opportunity to fulfil their highest potential, both academically and in respect of their wider interests and talents.
Our curriculum has clear end points and our lessons are sequenced so children’s learning builds towards these. The children’s new knowledge and skills builds on what they have been taught before and is designed for the children, families and community of Mereside.
Our Curriculum Implementation
Our children learn through a knowledge based curriculum which develops children’s skills. We endeavour to engage our children and completely immerse them in their learning. The curriculum offers progression and it provides children with the knowledge and skills needed for the next stage in their learning and later life.
We celebrate and value all subjects and provide opportunities to apply key skills in all areas of learning. We have high expectations of achievement, progress, behaviour and presentation. Our children enjoy developing their learning.
Our Curriculum Impact
The impact of our curriculum ensures children are prepared for the next stage of learning and later life.
