Our Curriculum
At Great Bardfield Primary School, our curriculum is rooted in the National Curriculum and carefully adapted to meet the needs of our mixed age classes. We provide a broad, balanced and sequenced programme that ensures all pupils develop secure knowledge, skills and understanding as they move through the school.
Learning combines progressive national schemes with bespoke, hands on experiences, allowing us to respond to the needs, interests and strengths of every child. Inclusion is central to our approach, with teaching carefully adapted so that all pupils, including those with SEND or those needing additional challenge, can access learning and achieve success. Lessons are age appropriate, practical and recorded in a variety of ways, including books, Tapestry, Seesaw and floorbooks.
English and Maths are delivered through daily structured lessons, phonics and practical activities, while foundation subjects including Science, History, Geography, Art, Design and Technology, Music, Computing, PSHE, PE, Religious Education and Spanish are taught through engaging lessons and linked practical tasks.
Alongside academic learning, we prioritise pupils’ personal development, supporting their emotional, social, physical and moral growth. Our holistic approach ensures children leave school confident, resilient, independent and well prepared for the next stage of education and life beyond the classroom.
We share further information about what your child is learning in our termly ‘Curriculum Leaflets’ which can be found on the individual class pages.
Details of our curriculum by subject is coming soon.
