Our Values
At Wrotham Road Primary School, we believe every child deserves a curriculum that inspires curiosity, encourages creativity and helps them reach their full potential. We work hard to design learning experiences that are exciting, enjoyable and challenging, with key skills and knowledge threaded through every subject.
Our teachers carefully plan lessons that build on what children already know, introducing new knowledge, skills and subject specific vocabulary while encouraging independence and confidence in every child. Our curriculum is continuously reviewed and refined to ensure it reflects the needs, interests and individuality of our pupils.
We take pride in celebrating the diversity of our children and the many cultures that enrich our school community. We are dedicated to supporting pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development while promoting modern British values.
Our school motto, “Embracing Diversity, Developing Identity” reflects the heart of our approach. Through our creative and inclusive curriculum, we aim to nurture confident, independent learners who leave us in Year 6 as well-rounded individuals ready for the next stage of their learning journey.
Our Concept-Based Curriculum
We have recently redeveloped our curriculum to move away from a topic-based approach and towards a concept-based model. By focusing on key concepts each term, we can provide rich, cross curricular learning that deepens children’s understanding and broadens their experiences beyond the expectations of the National Curriculum.
From Reception to Year 6, Science, Geography, History, Art, Design Technology and Music are carefully sequenced and connected through termly concepts. This approach allows teachers to plan progressive, meaningful lessons that link learning across subjects and strengthen key knowledge and skills.
Through our concept-based curriculum, we aim to inspire children to think critically, make connections and explore ideas beyond the classroom – helping them to Embrace Diversity and Develop Identity.
