Our Curriculum
Inspiring curiosity, building knowledge and preparing children for life

At Euxton Primrose Hill, we believe that a great curriculum should give every child the knowledge, skills, experiences and confidence they need to thrive.
Our curriculum is designed around our CARE values – Courage, Ambition, Respect and Excellence. These values shape not only what children learn, but also how they learn and the kind of young people we want them to become.
We want our children to be curious, confident and enthusiastic learners, with a strong understanding of themselves, others and the world around them.
Our CARE Curriculum
🦁 Courage
We encourage children to become independent and resilient learners who are willing to take on challenges, learn from mistakes and try new things.
🎯 Ambition
We have high expectations for every child. We encourage pupils to believe in what they can achieve, work hard and develop a lifelong love of learning.
🤝 Respect
We teach children to respect themselves, others and the world around them. We develop their understanding of different cultures, communities, beliefs and perspectives.
⭐ Excellence
We want children to take pride in their learning and strive to be their very best. Our curriculum is carefully sequenced so that knowledge and skills build progressively from one year to the next.
What makes our curriculum special?
Our curriculum has been designed with our children and our community at its heart.
We don't believe that a one-size-fits-all curriculum is right for Primrose Hill. We carefully develop and select learning experiences that meet the needs, interests and experiences of our pupils.
📚 Reading & Oracy
We believe that reading and oracy are fundamental to learning.
We want every child to become a confident, fluent reader who develops a genuine love of books. Through carefully chosen texts and rich vocabulary, we encourage children to develop their understanding of the world and the language they need to express themselves confidently.
Children have opportunities throughout the curriculum to talk, discuss, question, explain and share their ideas, helping them to become confident communicators.
🌍 Understanding Our World
We want our children to develop a broad and rich understanding of the world around them.
Our curriculum provides opportunities to explore different cultures, communities, beliefs and experiences. We develop children's understanding of British Values, diversity and the importance of living respectfully alongside others.
We enrich learning through visitors, trips, experiences and opportunities to learn from members of our wider community.
🔗 Making Connections
Learning is most meaningful when children can make connections.
Wherever possible, we make meaningful links between subjects, helping children to see how their learning connects. Children develop strong subject knowledge alongside transferable skills, enabling them to apply what they have learned in different contexts.
🌳 Learning Beyond the Classroom
We believe that learning doesn't only happen when children are sitting in a classroom.
Our extensive grounds and outdoor spaces provide opportunities for children to learn, explore, investigate and develop their understanding of the natural world.
Our wider curriculum is enriched through trips, visitors, sporting opportunities, music, clubs and experiences, helping children to discover new interests and develop their confidence.
💻 Technology & the Future
Technology plays an increasingly important role in children's lives and future employment.
We provide opportunities for children to develop their digital skills and use technology purposefully to support and enhance their learning.
A Curriculum That Builds Over Time
Our curriculum is carefully sequenced so that children build on what they already know and can do, developing their knowledge and skills as they move through school.
We want children to remember what they have learned and be able to use their knowledge in new situations.
Each year group has carefully planned learning that builds towards the next stage of a child's education.
Learning Beyond the Classroom
We want children to leave Primrose Hill with more than just academic knowledge.
Our wider enrichment programme gives children opportunities to discover new interests, develop talents, build confidence and create lasting memories.
This includes:
Sport & physical activity • Music • Outdoor learning • Trips & visits • Clubs • Pupil leadership • OPAL • Visitors & experiences
Find Out More About Your Child's Learning
You can find more information about what your child is learning throughout the year on their Class Page, including curriculum information and letters.
At the beginning of each academic year, teachers also hold a Meet the Teacher session where they share information about the curriculum, reading, homework and class routines.
