At Thorneyholme we believe that the curriculum is a powerful tool to promote a lifelong love of learning, as well as a way of creating opportunities for personal growth and development. 

We use the National Curriculum as a starting point for a wide and varied learning experience for our children. We ensure that all children have a broad, balanced and relevant education which encourages the highest standards of achievement for all.  Our children will have the opportunity to be creative, to be physically active and to be academically challenged; developing their knowledge and skills. 

We aim to teach our children how to grow into positive, responsible people, preparing them for life as effective British citizens. We mould and enrich our curriculum through our strong Catholic ethos based on the teachings of the Gospels.  

“The extensive enrichment activities form part of what the pupils learn every day. These are highly engaging and contribute to the rich and memorable curriculum."

OFSTED 2019

Our curriculum has been carefully planned and mapped out for our school of mixed classes.  There are two-year cycles in KS1 and four-year cycles in KS2. Maths, across the school is taught within a one-year cycle.  All learning is differentiated according to year group and ability.

Curriculum Intent

We are committed to providing a curriculum that will prepare our children for life in and beyond our rural setting. A curriculum that will inspire children to have a lifelong love of learning that equips them to be the best that they can be.
