Curriculum

At Village Primary School, our curriculum is designed to give every child the knowledge, skills and confidence they need to succeed both in school and in later life. We are proud to offer a broad and balanced curriculum that is engaging, ambitious and relevant to the world our children are growing up in.

Our aim is to ensure that all pupils have access to high-quality learning opportunities across a wide range of subjects. These include English, Maths, Science, Computing, History, Geography, Art, Design and Technology, Physical Education, Music, French, Religious Education and PSHE.

We carefully plan our curriculum so that knowledge and skills build over time. Children are given opportunities to revisit and apply what they have learned, helping them to remember more and do more as they move through school. Learning is often linked across subjects to make it meaningful and to help children see how their knowledge connects.

At Village, we believe learning should be exciting and memorable. We provide a range of enrichment opportunities, including visits, visitors and hands-on experiences, to bring learning to life. We also place a strong emphasis on our local area, helping children develop pride in being part of the Thornaby and Teesside community.

Our curriculum supports children to become confident, respectful and independent learners. Through opportunities to discuss, question and reflect, pupils develop critical thinking skills and a deeper understanding of the world around them.

Ultimately, we want our children to leave Village Primary School as well-rounded individuals who are ready for the next stage of their education and able to make a positive contribution to society.
