Our Curriculum

At Bembridge CE Primary we have developed a curriculum which is broad and balanced and supports all pupils to embed a secure knowledge and understanding across a range of subjects. We ensure it covers all of the Early Years Statutory Framework and the National Curriculum for Key Stages 1 and 2. We have also developed our curriculum to ensure that our Christian values of love, courage and respect are woven within the content to develop children with Christian values in their hearts and minds. We also consider the needs of our pupils within the Bembridge community, the richness of the local surroundings and the missing elements of living on an island. Our curriculum takes account of this and includes many cultural experiences to ensure a balanced view of the world. 

At Bembridge CE Primary children begin their time in Reception learning through play and adult guided activities with a curriculum which has a clear progression to learning but adapts to the interests of the child.
