The Southill Primary curriculum is designed to provide a broad and balanced education that inspires all our pupils and meets their needs. It provides opportunities for children to develop as independent, confident and successful learners with high aspirations, who know how to make a positive contribution to their community and the wider society.

We ensure that academic success, creativity and problem solving, as well as physical development, wellbeing and mental health are key elements that support the development of the whole child. Our aim is to promote a positive attitude to learning. Our school celebrates and embraces diversity while supporting children’s spiritual, moral, social and cultural development, ensuring that they are well prepared for life in modern Britain.

Our curriculum incorporates the statutory requirements of the National Curriculum. Reading, writing and maths are taught in every class each morning. Other subjects such as Science, Art and Design, Geography, History and Design and Technology are taught in the afternoons through a range of subject-specific, knowledge-rich sessions which are carefully designed to help children build knowledge and skills. PE, Music, French, PSHE (Personal, Social, Health and Economic) and RE are also taught in the afternoons.
