The Curriculum

At Petersgate Infant School, we are proud to have a curriculum that is designed to inspire curiosity and provide opportunities for children to experience, and develop, skills to prepare them for the next step of their learning journey.

Through our values of safety, caring, achievement, resilience and friendship, we provide a curriculum which is designed to ensure the best possible outcomes for all children, whilst promoting their well-being in a safe space where they can confidently explore their emotions, individuality and unique identity.

We encourage children to ask questions and help them to develop into independent, flexible thinkers.

Our children are empowered to have courage and develop the confidence to take calculated risks with strength of character and resilience: with the confidence to view every mistake or difficulty as an opportunity to learn.

We implement an enquiry-based curriculum which is rooted in deep respect for others, where they learn how to debate, demonstrate empathy and resolve conflict independently.

We provide an environment in which children are able to explore and respect nature. We are a school which nurtures all those in our Petersgate family and go above and beyond, bringing dogs into school to provide comfort and joy, to build self-esteem and support emotional well-being.

All adults and children work together to promote tolerance, responsibility and mutual respect whilst upholding the values of democracy and the rule of law.

We encourage involvement of all stakeholders and members of the community so that we can all be part of shaping young minds and hearts and, together, raising young people who make a positive impact on society.
