Our Curriculum
‘Together We Grow With God’ fully permeates every aspect of life at Lytham Church of England Primary School. Since the school was founded, staff have nurtured a positive relationship with the community, ensuring God’s love is evident through thoughts and actions, embedding Christian values which have provided the basis for individuals to shape their personal beliefs and respect for others. Today, we continue to follow the loving example of Jesus Christ in order to enable all our pupils to flourish socially, academically and spiritually.
Our caring and loving school environment is inclusive of children of all faiths and backgrounds and is where each child is loved, celebrated, and welcomed. We hold high aspirations for our pupils, whom we seek to become well-rounded, confident, honest, resilient, compassionate, ambitious, responsible and thoughtful people, who consistently demonstrate sound moral character, fulfil their God-given potential, and have a strong sense of community and their place within it. All of this ensures that each child has solid foundations for their futures.
Our curriculum is designed to be broad, balanced and relevant to the experiences and needs of our pupils at Lytham Church of England. Our approach to learning, and our curriculum, is designed with the children at the centre, so their experience is rewarding so they are able to achieve and flourish, no matter their starting point. The curriculum is structured to allow a clear progression in the acquisition of knowledge and skills in all subjects from Nursery through to Year 6. We have varied schemes, modified by teachers, each offering vibrant, progressive and ambitious curriculums for subjects such as DT, French and Art. All pupil have the opportunity to learn from first-hand experiences, including through the extended curriculum and after-school activities. All pupils will be encouraged to develop their awareness of the community in which they live and be provided with opportunities to ensure that they are able to succeed in the next stages of their life.
