Our Curriculum at Aberford C of E Primary School
At Aberford, learning goes beyond the classroom. Our curriculum includes lessons, out-of-school activities and the values and behaviours we promote; all designed to help children grow academically, socially and spiritually.
We provide an ambitious and inclusive curriculum that follows the National Curriculum while meeting the needs and interests of every child. Lessons build on prior knowledge, with our mixed-age classes carefully mapped over a two-year cycle, and smaller group maths and phonics lessons to ensure age appropriate coverage. Topics cover local and global experiences and are underpinned by our Christian values, helping children develop resilience, creativity and a love of learning.
All pupils study core subjects (English, Maths, Science), foundation subjects (Art & Design, Computing, Design & Technology, Geography, History, Music, PE, RE, Spanish, PSHE), and Religious Education. Learning is engaging, hands-on and often enriched by visits or visitors. We aim to make learning meaningful, exciting and relevant: preparing children to be confident, lifelong learners and responsible citizens.
