Curriculum Information
Our curriculum is based on the National Curriculum for Years 1-6 and the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework in Reception.
Over recent years, we have developed our curriculum to ensure that we not only meet, but exceed, the requirements of the National Curriculum by providing children with exciting, engaging learning opportunities, that hook the children in, and give them extra experiences through WOW days, visits and visitors. We ensure progression of knowledge and skills through each year group in preparation for future learning.

Our curriculum is designed with our children at the heart. We want our children to be focused, resilient learners with an inquisitive nature and an enjoyment of learning. We encourage our children to: be aspirational, work collaboratively with others, solve problems, and be reflective about their learning and progress.
At Mulbarton Primary School, we set high expectations and ensure equal opportunities to allow all children to reach their full potential. We follow a mastery approach when delivering the learning objectives from our school curriculum and progression documents. Children are supported to meet these objectives via adaptive teaching and scaffolding. This might include the use of templates, word mats, physical learning resources, classroom helpdesks or adult support. This approach allows the level of support to be slowly reduced until our children are able to demonstrate their learning independently.
We have ‘7 Wonders of Learning’ that are at the core of everything we do in our school. These are: focussed, collaborative, resilient, reflective, aspirational, inquisitive and problem-solving. Our children are asked to consider which of these wonders they use within lessons and around the school. These are then celebrated in our Friday Celebration Assembly, where children can receive certificates.
Mulbarton Primary School has wonderful school grounds including a forest area, reflective area and large field / playground spaces. We promote active and outdoor learning opportunities as much as possible.
We provide a range of extra-curricular activities both during and outside of school hours. These include: sporting, musical and craft opportunities. Some clubs are led by school staff and others by bought in professionals.
