The Curriculum
A happy child will grow in confidence and fulfil his/her potential. The staff at
Mickleover Primary School are committed to the total development and care of
your children so that they make progress intellectually, socially, emotionally and
physically. This will be best achieved through a partnership between home and
school.
Our Curriculum Aims
We hope that our curriculum will enable all young people to become:
•
Successful learners who enjoy learning, make progress and
achieve
•
Confident individuals who are able to live safe, happy and
fulfilling lives
•
Responsible individuals who make a positive contribution to
society.
We have therefore designed a curriculum to encourage the development of life
skills, such as independence, collaboration, problem solving etc, in your children.
We use a cross-curricular, or topic-based approach to learning where possible,
which gives the children opportunities to develop and use these skills in practice.
If you would like to see the school’s Curriculum or Teaching and Learning policy,

overview of the curriculum we teach in each year group throughout the school.
