Curriculum

At Kempsey we have a topic-based curriculum which planned carefully to meet the needs of all pupils. The topics are organised around a theme and are supported, where appropriate, through the International Primary Curriculum.

We follow the National Curriculum and endeavour provide as many opportunities for curriculum 'enrichment' as possible.

To see our two year curriculum map, please see below.

A link to the National Curriculum can be found here.

Curriculum enrichment

At Kempsey we believe in providing rich opportunities for learning both in and out of the classroom. Our curriculum is broader than just the National Curriculum. Through careful topic planning, we aim to bring the curriculum to life with meaningful learning experiences. Examples of enrichment across the school include:

Whole school topic stimuli

Topic launch days

Topic enrichment homework activities

External speakers

Visits to places of worship

Clubs- a range from sports to crafts!

Theatre trips

Museum trips

School Parliament

Eco-schools

Bell-boating regatta

Residential trips

Class assemblies

Further examples of curriculum enrichment, but by no means an exhaustive list, can be found below.

Enrichment afternoons

We have identified a range of skills and experiences that we could offer the children that might fall out of the 'remit' of the national curriculum. We are conducting enrichment afternoons to engage the children in these activities...
