Our ‘Grown for Gaskell’ Curriculum
Curriculum Statement
Our school ethos is to place the child at the centre of everything we do. Our curriculum is designed to encourage, challenge and enable our children to become successful and resilient citizens in today and tomorrow’s world. At Gaskell, through a broad and balanced curriculum, we will provide the children with the skills and knowledge they require for their lifetime. The curriculum encourages children to be independent, resourceful, skilled, adaptable, flexible and empathetic.
Our school values are represented and underpinned by the curriculum drivers and form the basis of everything we do. They represent how we behave in, around and outside school from Nursery to Year 6, in all aspects of school life. They also support the teaching of British Values throughout the school.
