Curriculum

Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardour and attended to with diligence.

Abigail Adams.

The Endeavour Curriculum has been  designed and organised to provide and support the very best outcomes for our children. The curriculum covers all aspects of the learning children experience at Endeavour Primary. We ensure there are opportunities for hands-on experiential learning, a balance of academic as well as non-academic, well-being and life skills. The Endeavour Curriculum is built through strategically placing different elements over different layers to ensure a robust and meaningfully connected curriculum which supports and inspires our pupils. It has been developed to support the children’s substantive and disciplinary knowledge for Modern day Britain.

The Primary curriculum should be structured around regular practice, regular opportunities to revisit and secure early knowledge and skills which are fundamental to success.

The Endeavour Curriculum is built around 5 key aspects;

Statutory Guidance

School Values 

School Community

Learning Values

Endeavour essential knowledge

The Statutory Guidance is a shared language between schools. It is also a starting point for what you will include in your curriculum. 

The Endeavour curriculum has been developed with the ANCHOR Values in mind. Within each Project, how are the ANCHOR Values explicitly taught or planned. 

Through the development of the curriculum, the school community and cohorts were rooted in the reason why we teach what we teach. An example of this is in PSHE, we teach children about the railway and water safety because the children live close to a railway line and Rivers and Lakes within walking distance. We have also moved to Spanish because the local Secondary Schools teach Spanish so this enables the children to be ready for the next phase in their education.

The Learning Values underpin the curriculum with 6 Learning Values; creativity, independence, interdependence, spirituality, thinking and emotional intelligence . Each project includes 2 learning values.

Endeavour Essential Knowledge is the essential knowledge we consider essential for children at Endeavour to learn. We want children at Endeavour to know more, do more, remember more.
