Curriculum Rationale
"Be Safe, Be Happy and Learn,” these are the core motto aims that underpin everything we do at The Primrose Centre.
Children are at the heart of all decision-making at The Primrose Centre. We are passionate about achieving the best possible outcomes for all children, who have otherwise struggled to thrive in their mainstream setting. Staff are knowledgeable, highly skilled and above all else, patient and nurturing, in order to work with the pupils and outside agencies to ensure every individual can experience success.
At Primrose our curriculum for Key Stage 1 and 2 pupils is built on the principle that every child is entitled to a high-quality, broad, and balanced education, regardless of their background, previous educational experience, or behavioural and social-emotional needs. We understand that our pupils often arrive with significant barriers to learning, including trauma, adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), or disrupted schooling. Therefore, our curriculum is designed to re-engage, stabilise, and support children, laying strong foundations for future academic success and personal growth.
Our aims:
- Pupils feel safe and happy and develop a love of learning
- Pupils make progress against personal targets set from their baseline results
- Pupils acknowledge their achievements and have a sense of pride
- Pupils have opportunities to participate in a range of enrichment activities within and beyond the curriculum via working with professionals within the community
- Pupils develop a greater awareness of their local community and make positive contributions
- Pupils develop transferable skills that will prepare them for transition either to a mainstream education setting or specialist provision.
