The school’s programmes of study are carefully planned to align with the expectations and level of challenge set out in the National Curriculum. They build progressively on pupils’ existing knowledge, understanding and skills to support continuous learning and development. Teachers receive regular professional training in key curriculum areas, ensuring they are well prepared to deliver high-quality teaching. Learning is supported through a variety of approaches, including individual work, small group activities and whole-class instruction.

At Chowbent, the curriculum is designed to offer a broad and balanced educational experience that meets the needs of every pupil. It aims to equip children with the knowledge, skills and understanding they need for their future. Alongside academic achievement, the curriculum promotes creativity, critical thinking and problem-solving skills. It also encourages important personal qualities such as responsibility, resilience and reliability, while supporting pupils’ physical development, mental health and overall well-being. 

The curriculum also recognises and celebrates diversity within the school community. It draws upon the experiences, knowledge and cultural backgrounds of pupils and families, enriching the learning environment. At the same time, it supports children’s spiritual, moral, social and cultural development, helping them grow into thoughtful and responsible members of society.
