At Seend Primary School, our vision is: based on Matthew 5:14-16 - "Together, grounded in respect, generosity, wisdom, and community, we will "let our light shine" in all that we do.” We all, adults and children alike, hold our vision and associated core values as central to all we do in school:

  • Respect
  • Wisdom
  • Generosity
  • Community

The national curriculum is the starting point for our curriculum design and describes the subject areas that we teach discreetly. However, where purposeful and strong links between subject content can be made, we make these links to support children in building on and recapping prior learning, making learning even more purposeful and supporting children to know more and remember more. We have identified 3 Golden Threads that weave through our curriculum and underpin everything we do. This means that in delivering our curriculum we are embedding our school Christian Values, developing knowledge and skills progressively over time with an ambitious and aspiring curriculum whilst immersing our children in language rich teaching.

To ensure our themes include a breadth and depth of knowledge, understanding, and skills, we follow our Breadth of Study documents, based on the national curriculum 2014.
