At Midhurst Primary School we strongly believe the curriculum is our biggest lever for enabling children in being FAB. Every member of staff is determined for children to Flourish, Achieve and Believe. We want children to reach their full potential. Our Christian values of respect, kindness, peace, creativity, forgiveness and friendship are woven throughout our curriculum. The curriculum we teach is guided by the National Curriculum, but not limited by it Curricular planning involves all members of staff to ensure continuity and progression. Learning takes into account both substantive and disciplinary knowledge, ensuring that pupils get the chance to revisit and consolidate learning in different ways. Our knowledge-engaged MPS curriculum gives children opportunities to show the progress they have made in a range of learning contexts, building upon prior knowledge. We encourage children to make links in their learning whether these be vertical, horizontal or diagonal across disciplines and subjects where possible. We feel passionate about maintaining cross-curricular links as this allows children to build up schemata around a chosen subject, practice which is evidence-informed and well-researched.
