Carmountside Primary Academy

The aim of Carmountside’s Curriculum is to provide opportunities for children to develop as independent, confident, successful learners with high aspirations who know how to make a positive contribution to their community and the wider society.

We plan our curriculum to ensure it has sufficient breadth, balance and relevance for each child. Pupils at all levels are helped to achieve their potential. Those who are most able are challenged and encouraged to expand their skills and knowledge through varied curriculum opportunities. Those who find learning difficult are given targeted support to embed skills, to develop at their own pace and to learn in a style that best suits their individual needs.

We use the Learning Challenge Curriculum as this approach secures greater learning involvement, builds on children’s prior knowledge and helps them to develop into creative, confident learners who are keen to take risks, collaborate and persevere. It is these qualities which we feel are vital for success in life as well as learning.
