Thorntree Primary School Curriculum Offer
Our Curriculum Intent
Our curriculum will give the children the opportunity to develop a rich and deep subject knowledge through the enjoyment, experience and challenge of learning. They will understand the value of their learning and see how it is relevant to their future.
At Thorntree Primary School, our curriculum is designed to ensure all children are ready for the next stage in their education. It is based on action research to ensure that it is fit for purpose and meets the needs of all children within our school. Key knowledge for each topic is taught to the children and supported through the use of knowledge organisers. Progressive key skills and concepts are also taught to ensure that children’s learning is interconnected and that they are able to apply their skills in different contexts.

Progression Pathways
Our curriculum progresses through the use of subject pathways. These are used to demonstrate the learning journey children will take in each subject.
Physical Education ( PE )
At Thorntree Primary School we believe a high-quality physical education curriculum should inspire all pupils to succeed and excel in competitive sport and other physically-demanding activities. It should provide opportunities for pupils to become physically confident in a way which supports their health and fitness. Opportunities to compete in sport and other activities build character and help to embed values such as teamwork and respect. PE lays the importance in the value of exercise and a lifelong interest in a range of activities. It also seeks to promote enthusiasm for physical activity and challenge.
Mathematics
The intent of mathematics in Thorntree Primary School is to develop:
– a positive attitude towards mathematics and an awareness of the relevance of mathematics in the real world
