Curriculum Overview

At Castle Bromwich Infant and Nursery School, our curriculum is underpinned by three core values that shape every aspect of our children's learning journey: perseverance, belonging, and kindness. These values are not simply words on our walls – they are the driving forces that inform our curriculum intent, implementation, and the impact we strive to achieve for every child.

Perseverance 

is woven throughout our curriculum to ensure that all children develop resilience, determination, and a growth mindset. We design learning experiences that appropriately challenge our pupils, teaching them that mistakes are valuable learning opportunities and that sustained effort leads to success. Through carefully sequenced teaching and supportive scaffolding, we help children build the confidence to tackle new concepts, persist when learning becomes difficult, and celebrate their progress along the way. 

Belonging

 is at the heart of our inclusive curriculum. We are committed to ensuring that every child – regardless of background, starting point, or individual need – feels valued, respected, and an integral part of our school community. Our curriculum celebrates diversity, promotes equality, and actively removes barriers to learning and wellbeing. We create opportunities for children to understand and appreciate different cultures, faiths, and perspectives, whilst developing a strong sense of identity and pride in who they are. Through our curriculum, children learn that they belong not only to our school community but also to the wider world, with rights and responsibilities as active citizens.

Kindness 

permeates every interaction and learning opportunity within our school. Our curriculum explicitly teaches children to show empathy, compassion, and respect towards others, whilst also developing their understanding of healthy relationships and emotional wellbeing. We provide rich opportunities for children to collaborate, support one another, and contribute positively to their school and local community. Through our focus on kindness, children learn to recognise and celebrate the achievements of others, to offer help when it's needed, and to treat everyone – including themselves – with care and consideration.

Together, these three values ensure that our curriculum not only delivers high-quality academic outcomes but also nurtures well-rounded, confident, and compassionate individuals who are prepared for their next steps in education and for life in modern Britain.
