At Barlby, our curriculum is underpinned by our values creativity, determination and respect.

We aim to provide a broad and balanced curriculum that is delivered through rich, imaginative and cross-curricular learning that will inspire children. We offer a curriculum which builds on the knowledge, understanding and skills of all children, whatever their starting point, as they progress through each Key Stage.

The curriculum incorporates the statutory requirements of the National Curriculum 2014 and other experiences and opportunities which best meet the learning and developmental needs of the pupils in our school. The aim of our curriculum is for pupils to have the skills to be motivated, successful, and independent lifelong learners.

At our school, we are proud to offer a rich and engaging wider curriculum that supports the development of the whole child. We follow carefully selected schemes of work that ensure coverage of the National Curriculum objectives and provide high-quality learning experiences across all subjects.

• Art, Computing, PSHE, Spanish, and Design Technology are taught using the Kapow Primary schemes of work. These schemes are designed to be creative, inclusive, and progressive, helping children build knowledge and skills year-on-year.

• Science is delivered through the White Rose Science scheme of learning, which supports a mastery approach and encourages curiosity, investigation, and deep understanding of scientific concepts.

• PE (Physical Education) follows the GetSet4PE scheme, which promotes physical literacy, teamwork, and a lifelong love of movement and sport.

• RE (Religious Education) is taught in accordance with the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea SACRE (Standing Advisory Council on Religious Education), ensuring that children learn about a range of religions and world views in a respectful and inclusive way.

These schemes help us provide a broad and balanced curriculum that nurtures creativity, critical thinking, and personal development.
