Our Curriculum
Staff at Archbishop Sumner have the highest aspirations for our children and have a clear and ambitious vision for the school to ensure that each and every child is given the opportunity to flourish and excel through a united commitment to a creative, challenging and diverse curriculum. Staff nurture individuality and foster strong relationships across the school community. We are committed to meeting the academic, social and emotional needs of all children, whatever their starting points as they progress through the school.
In addition to this, we believe that our curriculum should not only be a window into the wider world, but also a mirror in which all children can see themselves. We aim to celebrate diversity, challenge assumptions and broaden horizons for all children.
The curriculum is designed to give all pupils the knowledge and skills to be successful, independent and motivated learners in readiness for their next stage of education. The curriculum provides the opportunity for children to contribute positively to their local, national and global communities. Children are encouraged to work collaboratively and to be reflective and adaptable learners.
We encourage children to be curious and excited in order to make learning relevant and purposeful. Regular educational visits and visits from experts and members of the local community further enhance the learning experience and bring topics to life.
Specialist Art & Music teachers are employed to ensure the highest quality of teaching is taking place across the curriculum.
