Our Curriculum at Edgebury

At Edgebury, we believe that education should ignite curiosity, foster ambition, and empower children with the knowledge and skills they need to thrive. Our curriculum is designed to challenge and inspire, ensuring every child develops a deep and lasting understanding across a broad range of subjects.

We take pride in delivering a curriculum that is both rigorous and enriching, enabling children to immerse themselves fully in each subject. By learning to think like scientists, historians, geographers, artists, and designers, our children develop not just subject knowledge but the skills and mindset needed to explore, question, and create.

Our curriculum also reflects the unique character of our school and community. We are committed to closing gaps in children's experiences by providing meaningful opportunities that broaden their horizons and deepen their understanding of the world around them.

At Edgebury, children are at the heart of their learning. We encourage them to be inquisitive, reflective, and actively engaged in their education, ensuring their voices are heard and valued every step of the way.

How Our Curriculum is Delivered

To ensure depth and progression, each subject is taught discretely, following carefully structured sequences that build on prior knowledge and support long-term learning. Our approach ensures that children develop subject-specific expertise while also making meaningful connections across their learning.

We use a range of high-quality schemes and bespoke programmes to deliver our curriculum:

• Writing – Literacy Tree
• Phonics – FFT Success for All
• Maths – White Rose Maths
• History, Geography, Computing, French, and Music – Kapow
• RE – Discovery RE
• PE – Get Set 4 PE
• PSHE – One Decision
• Art and Design Technology – Bespoke programmes tailored to the needs of our school

We place a strong emphasis on broadening children’s vocabulary and ensuring they confidently use subject-specific language. A rich and precise vocabulary is essential for deepening understanding, enhancing communication, and supporting the development of key concepts.

A Curriculum for Life

Education at Edgebury extends beyond academic achievement. Our Learning and Life Skills programme helps children develop the personal, social, and emotional competencies they need to navigate life with confidence and resilience. By fostering independence, responsibility, and a lifelong love of learning, we prepare our children to become thoughtful, engaged citizens of the future.
