Broadhempston Curriculum Statement
Our curriculum has been designed making best use of our unique staff and their varying experiences and skills, our children’s passions and interests and the passions of our families who often share their expertise with us.
We are a traditional village school in a rural location but are part of a ‘campus’ in our local community. We make the best use of the facilities and outdoor spaces in our parish including the local play park, the village hall, the parish church, the community shop, Headlands playing field and the Beacon community woodland through our planned personal development opportunities and core offer.
Our school values are the bedrock upon which our curriculum is built. They enable us to live out our school vision every day. Our core values (trust, creativity, community, respect, courage and kindness) are elements of our character that we feel are vital to ensure we are the best version of ourselves and are ready to make a meaningful difference to the world on our doorstep and beyond. Children are empowered to have a voice and make a difference. They know that what they say is valued and will be listened to and considered. Our values are part-and-parcel of our curriculum design and feed into all that we are and all that we do.
