Our Statement of Curriculum Intent

At Radcliffe-on-Trent Junior School, we aim for every child to:

• Be Kind by showing respect, empathy and understanding towards themselves, others and the world around them.
   
• Be Curious by asking questions, seeking new knowledge and developing a lifelong love of learning.
   
• Be Brave by embracing challenges, taking risks, learning from mistakes and believing in their own potential.

Connect with Learning 

Through a curriculum that is relevant, engaging and ambitious, we inspire children to be curious lifelong learners who ask questions, think deeply and make connections in their learning. Through memorable and meaningful experiences, we encourage children to be brave, embrace challenge, persevere when learning becomes difficult and develop confidence in their own abilities. We nurture children to show kindness to themselves and others, so that every child leaves us with the knowledge, skills and independence needed to flourish in school and beyond.

Connect with Our Community

Through meaningful experiences within our local area and beyond, we help children develop a strong sense of belonging and responsibility. We encourage children to understand their role as both members of the Radcliffe-on-Trent community and citizens of a wider world, making informed choices that positively impact people and the environment.

Connect with others

We aim for our children to be kind and care about others and develop the skills to communicate and work effectively and respectfully with everyone around them. Our curriculum provides our children with the tools necessary to listen and articulate their thoughts, ideas and feelings successfully in a wide range of different forms. Our curriculum is designed to nurture team work and teach the children how to work collaboratively with others. We want our children to know how to keep themselves and others safe, including when to speak up and challenge appropriately. We ensure that the experiences and learning opportunities our pupils receive actively promote and celebrate diversity and difference.
