Curriculum

What is our curriculum intention?

At Ramsgate Arts Primary School, providing our pupils with thought-provoking, relevant and connected content has been a strong driver when creating our school’s curriculum. We believe in the value of each subject and the importance of ensuring that pupils in our school have every opportunity to access the knowledge and skills they are entitled to in order to prepare them for the next stages of their school lives.

Our key aims for providing a high-quality curriculum are as follows:

  • Provide a full and ambitious curriculum that is accessible to all learners, yet offers challenge to those who need it. 
  • Ensure that as learners move through the school they gain the necessary knowledge, skills and understanding preparing them for success at the next stages of their lives (both personally and academically).
  • Ignite interest, appreciation, passion and joy into learning and becoming educated.

How do you meet these aims?

At Ramsgate Arts Primary School, in addition to meeting our aims by ensuring a robust and clear approach to curriculum implementation and evaluation, we do the following:

  • Develop an understanding of subjects.
