Our Curriculum Intent
At Kington St. Michael CE Primary school, we strive to provide the best standard of education we can for all of our pupils. Our curriculum is enhanced through our vision to nurture, grow and flourish. We want to enable all of our pupils to achieve their full potential. We pride ourselves in enabling our pupils to develop knowledge, understand concepts and acquire the skills to become confident, happy children who are positive about themselves and what they are capable of achieving both now and in the future.
At KSM, our broad and balanced curriculum provides our pupils with the essential core knowledge and skills built around the National Curriculum. It provides enriching, aspirational and challenging opportunities to learn in a wide range of contexts and enables our pupils to develop respectful attitudes and become lifelong learners with a secure understanding of the world around them.
As a Church of England School, our school curriculum is underpinned by our core values of
Friendship, Courage, Respect, Trust, Forgiveness, Hope
At KSM, we provide a stimulating environment, where each child can develop at his or her own pace and where each child is valued as an individual. Problems can be shared, successes and endeavours celebrated, enabling each child to be the best they can. We provide nurturing, enabling environments where children can develop resilience, understanding and compassion.
