'The exciting and relevant curriculum is planned around learning experiences for all pupils where they are given opportunities to develop their strengths and talents.' (SIAMS Inspection Report 2022). 

At Four Marks Primary, we believe that every child should have the opportunity to be extraordinary and future-ready through a curriculum which is creative, bold and courageous. This is achieved through our knowledge -engaged, enquiry approach that is rooted in the unique opportunities offered by our local community and expertise, local issues, and the historical and geographical context of our locality. Children have opportunities to look beyond themselves, ask ‘big questions’ and think globally about life and current issues. Our curriculum not only aims to provide children with the skills that they need now, but also the ability to think critically, be flexible, resourceful, reflective and resilient in an ever-changing world. 

'Big questions are a significant feature of lessons and enable pupils to develop a deep understanding of issues and inequalities in the world. This is evidenced in ‘let’s think’ lessons where pupils are encouraged to respect each other’s opinions by having opportunities to explore emotive and challenging themes... and, as a result, pupils’ spirituality is deepened.' (SIAMS Inspection Report 2022).  

All aspects of our curriculum are accessible to all children, irrespective of their ethnic background, gender, disability, religious or linguistic background. We strive hard to meet the needs of those pupils with special educational needs, those with disabilities, those with special talents and the children who are learning English as an additional language. We provide a rich, engaging curriculum, which challenges all of our children.  

'The curriculum and extra-curricular activities provide rich, exciting and engaging opportunities to develop strengths and talents in all pupils'. (SIAMS Inspection Report 2022)
