At Holymead Primary School we want our pupils to achieve high quality outcomes through a broad, balanced, inspiring, creative, fun and exciting curriculum.

Our focus is on:

• Keeping children safe
• Good quality teaching focusing on skills and knowledge
• A well presented, coherent, varied and interesting curriculum
• High quality outcomes

We have identified, using a range of data, three key factors that underpin and shape our School Curriculum:

• Promoting Pupils' Personal Responsibility
• Developing Pupils' Life Skills
• Increasing Pupils' Cultural Capital
