At Gilnow Primary School, all children between the ages of 5 and 11 studies the 2014 National Curriculum, which sets the content and learning objectives for schools to cover. However, schools are able to develop learning activities and experiences to suit the needs of their children and community.
RE is a statutory subject taught in all primary schools. At Gilnow, we adopt the Bolton RE SACRE syllabus. Schools are also required to teach Relationships and Health Education, which sits alongside our PSHE curriculum and our work on British Values.
Children in Early Years follow the 2025 EYFS framework.
The INTENT of our curriculum is based on our school vision. We want to provide our children with high-quality learning experiences that enable them to become self-assured, resilient and independent learners, who have the knowledge, skills and attitudes to understand, and thrive in, today’s society.
Through our IMPLEMENTATION, we have considered the particular needs of our children and the community that they live in, so our curriculum design focuses on promoting the following key areas:
- Language acquisition and phonics
- Reading and comprehension
- Life experiences
- Understanding of diversity and the wider world
We regularly monitor the IMPACT of our work, which may include lesson observations, work scrutiny and feedback from children. If you have any questions about the learning we provide, please come into school to speak to Miss Hesketh or Mrs McIlwaine at any time.
