Curriculum
At Sambourne CE Primary School we want all our pupils to receive an excellent education that fosters a love of learning. We aim to develop their knowledge and skills so that they grow up to be curious and creative life-long learners and responsible citizens who make a positive contribution to society.

Our curriculum map ensures that all aspects of the National Curriculum are covered through a rolling plan of topics to engage pupils and give context to the learning. At the same time we ensure that our topics are not being overloaded with content to ensure that deep learning is possible and outcomes are focused on skills, application of skills, knowledge and understanding.
