At Elton we aim to provide an exciting and stimulating curriculum.  Children also engage in weekly forest school activities and the whole school swim weekly.   We teach Spanish as our modern language. Our Maths curriculum is based on the White Rose scheme.  In RE we use both the Agreed Syllabus and Understanding Christianity.   Personal Development, including RE and PSHE form the bedrock of our curriculum. Our Christian Vision and values thread through our curriculum. 

The curriculum is carefully adjusted to suit all learners.  If you would like any more information about our curriculum, please contact your child's class teacher.

Staff at Elton C of E Primary School have devised an engaging curriculum plan based on the National Curriculum with careful consideration of the needs of our children. It is based around the Cornerstones Curriculum, a nationally recognised approach for delivering outstanding learning opportunities for children.  We maintain our belief that learning is lifelong and that the skills and attitudes we instil in the early stages of our children’s lives should stand them in good stead for the future. 

The Cornerstones Curriculum is a creative and thematic approach to learning that is mapped to the 2014 primary national curriculum to ensure comprehensive coverage of national expectations. It is based on a child-centred pedagogy called The Four Cornerstones and is delivered through Knowledge Rich Projects, which provide a rich menu of exciting and motivating learning activities that make creative links between all aspects of children’s learning. We believe children learn better when they are encouraged to use their imagination and apply their learning to engaging contexts. Our curriculum provides many learning challenges throughout the academic year that require children to solve problems, apply themselves creatively and express their knowledge and understanding effectively. Cornerstones also provide a rigorous skills and knowledge framework that outlines the end of year expectations in all subjects. These skills and knowledge are tied to activities and are age-related so that staff can track children’s progress and identify their individual learning needs.

At Elton C of E Primary School, all teachers are responsible for providing an inclusive curriculum that is adapted for those with Special Educational Needs or Disabilities (SEND). We have high expectations for all pupils and are committed to ensuring our curriculum complies with the Equality Act 2010 and the Special Educational Needs and Disability Regulations 2014.
