Curriculum Intent

At Great Kingshill CE Combined School, our curriculum is designed with ambition, creativity, and purpose. It is carefully sequenced to ensure that all pupils build deep, connected knowledge, master essential skills, and develop a strong sense of self. Our curriculum enables children to know more, remember more, and do more—laying the foundation for lifelong learning.

We are proud to offer a curriculum that is inclusive and adaptive, ensuring that every child—regardless of background or ability—can access learning and achieve excellence. Our approach nurtures curiosity, resilience, and a genuine love of learning, enabling pupils to flourish academically, socially, and emotionally.

In line with our commitment to holistic development, our curriculum also promotes mental well-being, celebrates individuality, and supports pupils in setting and achieving aspirational goals. Through immersive, topic-based learning and enriching experiences such as themed days, educational visits, and expert visitors, we bring learning to life and inspire every child to reach their full potential.

Curriculum Implementation

To deliver our ambitious curriculum effectively, we balance high-quality teaching with thoughtful workload management. We use a range of carefully selected, evidence-based schemes to support consistency and progression across subjects:

These resources ensure full National Curriculum coverage and provide clear progression pathways. Each subject is supported by detailed skill progression maps, guiding expectations and supporting high-quality outcomes.

Teachers are empowered to adapt planning to meet the diverse needs of their pupils, while maintaining the integrity and ambition of each unit. Our robust assessment systems, including NFER tests and bespoke foundation subject tracking, enable us to monitor progress closely and respond swiftly to individual needs.

At Great Kingshill CE Combined School, we are proud to offer a curriculum that not only meets but exceeds the expectations of an outstanding education. It is a curriculum that inspires, challenges, and prepares our children for the next stage of their learning journey and for life as global citizens.
