'Pupils know that leaders and all staff have high expectations of them. Pupils are
highly motivated to meet these expectations. Their behaviour is impeccable. They
listen attentively to instructions and focus on the task in hand. Pupils would not
contemplate disrupting anybody else's learning. They are too busy learning together
and supporting each other.' Ofsted November 21

We aim to provide an intellectually challenging learning experience from which all pupils can benefit. This school is devoted to raising children’s expectations and aspirations. Our principal objective is for each pupil to develop a deep interest in, and love for, learning. Pupils will be taught to apply this learning to the everyday world around them. While focusing on high standards of attainment, we are fully committed to the provision of a broad and balanced curriculum.
We want pupils to become self-motivated, independent learners with a wide range of study skills that will prove useful to them throughout their lives. Whilst engaged in this process we also want them to have fun: to enjoy their childhood and time with us at school.
We seek to make a real difference to children’s lives by providing them with the skills they will require to be successful, both now, as children, and in the future. The curriculum we offer is designed to prepare them for life and work in the twenty-first century.
We are committed to children leaving this school having achieved high standards in the core skills of reading, writing and arithmetic. In addition, we wish to inspire them by offering an exciting, broad, dynamic and varied curriculum experiences.
Underpinning our Educational Intent is the recognition that our children are learning in a school where they feel happy, confident, safe and valued. We are passionate about enabling our children to develop outstanding personal attributes, contributing to respectful, tolerant and well-behaved life-long learners.
Well Green Primary School is a community of learners where everyone can be successful and strive to continually improve on their personal best.

Primary Curriculum Statement
Intent
The curriculum is the totality of pupils’ learning experiences.
At Well Green Primary School we believe that our curriculum should be broad, balanced and relevant and meet the needs of all children whatever their ability. The taught curriculum is comprised of The National Curriculum and meets statutory requirements, in addition to a range of other experinces and skills which enrich and enhance the pupils’ learning.
Implementation
We ensure the children have a range of learning experiences that challenge, stimulate and promote thinking and learning through our broad and relevant curriculum which is based on first-hand experiences and observations. This encompasses all foundation subjects and enables us to provide a high standard of teaching and learning, with an overarching enquiry approach using range of teaching styles and cooperative learning. At Well Green our bespoke curriculum ensures we plan a diverse and engaging range of lessons and experiences for children. Our curriculum is constantly being updated and reviewed to ensure the best possible outcomes for all our children. We make full use of the local community and environment but also reach out in to the wider world to nurture global thinkers; global citizens of the future.
Impact
Children leave Well Green having made excellent progress and attainment having acquired a wealth of skills, knowledge and understanding. Their personal attributes are outstanding, contributing to respectful, tolerant and well-behaved life-long learners.
The curriculum maps provide an overview of the learning and lessons planned for each year group. In addition, parents/carers will receive detailed information half termly from class teachers in the section 'letter to parents'. They will also upload these onto class pages on the website.
