Our Curriculum at Delabole Primary School:

At Delabole, we believe that every child deserves an education that is ambitious, engaging and inclusive. Our curriculum has been carefully designed to develop children's knowledge, skills and understanding, whilst nurturing the confidence, resilience and curiosity they need to thrive in an ever-changing world.

Learning is built around carefully chosen enquiry questions that encourage children to think critically, explore different viewpoints and make meaningful connections across their learning. Through investigation, discussion and discovery, children are supported to become active participants in their own learning journey.

We value the unique context of our local community whilst ensuring children develop an understanding of the wider world beyond it. Through rich vocabulary, high-quality texts, memorable experiences and purposeful learning opportunities, we aim to inspire children, broaden horizons and foster a lifelong love of learning.

Most importantly, we believe that every child should be able to access and succeed within the curriculum. Through inclusive practice, strong universal provision and high-quality teaching, we work to remove barriers to learning and ensure that all children feel valued, supported and challenged. Our aim is for every child to leave Delabole as a confident learner who is prepared for the next stage of their education and beyond.

To support the needs of our mixed-age classes, learning is organised into curriculum cycles. Our Year 2/3/4 class follows a third cycle to ensure that children experience a broad, balanced and progressive curriculum, without unnecessary repetition as they move through the class.
