Our Curriculum Statement
Sutton Green Primary is committed to meeting the requirements of the primary National Curriculum with a broad and balanced approach.
Our exciting, tailored and progressive curriculum provides challenge, enrichment and inspiration. It is taught with the consideration of the needs of all learners. All teachers have received training in key areas of curriculum change and are strong in each subject area. Our subject leaders ensure excellence through regular monitoring, collaboration, CPD and support.
Our curriculum includes supporting children to develop life skills such as empathy, consideration, determination and resilience. We achieve this through our behaviour culture of being READY, RESPECTFUL and SAFE.
To enable our curriculum to be effective, we foster adult-pupil relationships through nurture, consistency and a trauma-informed approach.
We assess pupils in a variety of ways so that our curriculum meets their needs. This occurs through a balance of formative methods ( e.g marking and feedback) and summative methods ( e.g. regular testing and gap analysis).
