You will find information specific to each of the Year Groups here.
We very much need parents and carers to be involved with the education of their child. By providing the information on these year group pages, we hope that you can be very much involved with your child’s progress on a day-to-day basis.
We are further developing our curriculum offer in DT and Art. The links to the subject books offer an insight into this work and the amazing standards the children are achieving.

CURRICULUM INTENT
Preparing our children for a fulfilling life in modern Britain
Our rich and vibrant curriculum is planned to excite and inspire children’s interests whilst promoting academic excellence through sustained progression in knowledge, skills, and understanding.
We prepare our pupils to be successful learners who contribute positively to the Fulwell community and the wider society. We teach children to respect others, work collaboratively, and persevere as they become highly respected future citizens in a rapidly changing world, well-equipped for the next phase of their education.
- High Academic Aspirations and Standards
- Physical and Mental Well-being
- Celebrating Diversity and Equality
PREPARING FOR A SUCCESSFUL FUTURE IN A RAPIDLY CHANGING WORLD
As a school community, we believe our children possess unique gifts and qualities; as such, they have the right to succeed, recognize their own potential, and develop who they are in a respectful, caring environment.
Our bespoke curriculum is broad, balanced, and offers a wealth of first-hand experiences both indoors and outdoors. It builds upon children’s prior knowledge, providing rich learning experiences through quality first teaching that ensures high academic achievement. Preparation for adulthood is woven through every subject.
Strong links are made between subjects to address key texts often used as the stimulus. We use an enquiry-based approach, building children’s aspirations, developing curiosity, and demonstrating possibilities for their future lives. High expectations in speech, language, and communication (extending vocabulary and oracy) strengthen their ability to learn at a deeper level (mastery approach) and ensure they reach high standards in the core subjects of reading, writing, and mathematics.
Foundation subjects are crucial in developing the whole child, and we expect their knowledge and skills to impact long-term memory. We expect children to question and challenge, articulating their learning, demonstrating higher-order thinking, and the application of thought, knowledge, and skills.
Physical and Mental Well-being
Physical and mental well-being is at the heart of our curriculum design, enabling children to become resilient. We develop their self-confidence and high self-esteem, together with their understanding of the importance of a healthy lifestyle.
Celebrating Diversity and Equality
We utilise the rich cultural and historic heritage of Fulwell and its community within our curriculum provision. The curriculum celebrates diversity and builds on children’s knowledge, fostering their spiritual, moral, social, and cultural understanding, ensuring that every child is well-prepared for life in modern Britain.
SHINE Curriculum
Our curriculum has been designed to nurture and inspire our children and to make learning meaningful and memorable.
We have developed our “SHINE” curriculum: Successful, Holistic, Inspiring, Nurturing, and Engaging to secure the impact we plan for every child.
Successful
Through our approach to learning that is centered on a text, we focus on links within and between subjects to deepen understanding.
We intend to ensure that learning builds progressively to prepare children well for their future in a rapidly changing world.
Our themes reflect where we live and provide the context for learning.
Holistic
We recognise the importance of developing active learners who become increasingly independent in preparation for future life.
We offer a variety of experiences, both indoors and outdoors, across all subjects that support emotional, social, ethical, and academic needs as a priority.
Inspiring
Expectations in this school are always high and are reflected in the quality of work in children’s books and on displays throughout the school.
We inspire children through themes that excite them in their learning and promote exceptional outcomes for all.
Nurturing
Throughout every day, children are nurtured and encouraged, challenged, and supported to ensure they can achieve their potential.
Engaging
Crucially, it is important that all our children are engaged and stimulated by our curriculum.
