At Kingsmoor Lower School, the curriculum is designed to: recognise children’s prior learning, provide first hand learning and cultural experiences, develop and strengthen high aspirations, allow the children to develop interpersonal skills, build resilience and become creative, critical thinkers, all underpinned by our values.

Every child is recognised as a unique individual. We celebrate and welcome differences within our school community and encourage tolerance, understanding and acceptance. We are an inclusive community ensuring that pupils with SEND are fully included in every aspect of life at Kingsmoor. The ability to learn is underpinned by the teaching of basic skills, knowledge, concepts and our values curriculum which are taught weekly in whole school assembly followed by a class assembly. We constantly provide enhancement opportunities to engage learning and believe that childhood should
be a happy, investigative and enquiring time in our lives where there are no limits to curiosity and there is a thirst for new experiences and knowledge. We teach Growth Mindset strategies, celebrating mistakes as the start of a positive learning journey and helping to develop resilience. We use Stunning Starts and Fabulous Finishes to promote positive attitudes to learning, hooking the children in and giving learning a purpose.

Community involvement is an essential part of our curriculum and children are taught the value of relationships and family.  Strong links are made with the community, encouraging visitors into the school and visits out.

Children leave Kingsmoor with a sense of belonging to a tightly knit community where they have the confidence and skills to make decisions, self-evaluate, make connections and become lifelong learners.
