Aims / Curriculum Intent

At Little Aston Primary Academy we aim to:

  • Implement a broad, balanced, stimulating, inclusive and world class curriculum which is rooted in our school’s locality and context
  • Meet the needs of all of our pupils academically, socially and emotionally.
  • Teach the knowledge and skills within all national curriculum subjects so that all pupils know more and remember more as they progress through each academic year.
  • Make teaching and learning experiences real, memorable and inspirational.
  • Develop the ‘whole child’ – intellectual, aesthetic, physical, emotional, spiritual and social development through personal, social, health education (PSHE), relationships and sex education (RSE), religious education (RE) and character development
  • Excite our pupils imaginations and fire curiosity
  • Raise aspirations and widen horizons
  • Enable every pupil to leave school with the confidence, ability and desire to make the world a better place and be ready for the next stage in their education.

Our curriculum is based on the September 2014 National Curriculum for Key Stages 1 & 2 and the Early Years 2021 framework in EYFS. We also follow the Staffordshire Syllabus for Religious Education.

The curriculum is defined as all the planned activities that we as a school implement and teach in order to promote learning, personal growth and development. It includes, not only the formal requirements of the National Curriculum, but also the range of extra-curricular activities and school experiences that we school promote  in order to enrich the experiences of our children. This also includes the ‘hidden curriculum’, or what the children learn from the way they are treated and expected to behave in our school which is sometimes referred to as the ‘caught and taught’ curriculum.
