At Kates Hill Primary, we believe in providing a well-rounded education that extends beyond the traditional curriculum. Our commitment to nurturing the whole child is reflected in our approach to building experiences that go beyond textbooks and classrooms. The purpose of our experiences are to encourage our children to dream big, participate in learning that inspires, lead together, reward effort and respect each other and our world.   

Our curriculum is designed to instil high aspirations in all of our children and to encourage them to become resilient, life-long learners who embrace challenges and continue to grow and develop their cultural capital. We believe that exposure, not only to culture but also to situations in which the children might not have previous experiences of is of paramount importance to their ongoing successes. 

Gradually widening children’s experiences as they progress through school is an important step in providing rich and engaging learning across the curriculum. We plan carefully for children to have these experiences from EYFS and beyond.
