Curriculum

Our Vision and Values

Learning together, rooted in God, pupils at St Lawrence Church of England Primary School are easy to distinguish by the personal qualities they present. They are happy, confident, articulate children with a love of learning and a sense of service, who recognise and celebrate their own individuality and that of other members of our community. They are generous, kind and welcoming; they are forgiving and understand justice. With God by their side, they face the world with resilience, integrity and joy.

What Makes a Barton Learner?

Barton Curriculum Rationale

At Barton St Lawrence, we aim to give all pupils a strong academic foundation, whilst developing the whole child: culturally, personally and spiritually. We provide all children with the knowledge and skills that make them life-long learners, who have freedom of choice for how they can make a positive difference to our world. We strongly believe that all children can excel at something; and we provide a breadth of learning opportunities to ensure that each child's special talent is honed. Our personalised, broad and balanced curriculum ensures that when children leave our school at the end of Key Stage 2, they have not just learned the national curriculum- they have developed an area of expertise in an area of study of which they have developed a passion. This is what makes a Barton learner.

Our Personalised Curriculum

We have designed a bespoke curriculum, which is tailored to meet the needs of our children and is matched to the high aspirations we have for our school community. Subject leaders have designed overviews which identify the key knowledge our children are to gain as they progress through school. We have selected specific schemes to support our planning which support effective pedagogy; the school vision and values and which encompass the aims we have for our pupils by the time they leave our school.

Our Golden Threads

1. Our School Values

2. Global Citizenship

3. Spoken Language

4. Outdoor Learning

5. Essential Enrichment

6. Quality Texts

These threads are woven through our curriculum in its entirety, ensuring all of our pupils receive a truly holisitc education. They underpin big concepts which are broken into small, sequential steps. This builds a deep body of knowledge over time, which prepares them for further learning, future employment and life in modern Britain. 

Every subject has been carefully planned to promote ambition for all members of our school community.
