Our Curriculum
At Nightingale, we follow the DfE National Curriculum in England: Key Stages 1 and 2 and the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage. This is a statutory programme of study and attainment targets for all subjects taught in the Primary phase.
The national curriculum aims to equip all pupils with "the essential knowledge that they need to be educated citizens." It provides a core foundation of knowledge upon which our teachers build, enhancing pupils' understanding and skills through dynamic lessons and the broader school curriculum.
At Nightingale Primary School, we deliver a creative curriculum where the statutory requirements are met through engaging, themed topics. Each academic year is divided into these topics, and we take learning a step further through immersive and stimulating experiences. Our Immersion Days provide pupils with deep, hands-on experiences connected to their core text learning, helping to solidify their understanding in a meaningful way.
By integrating creativity with the national curriculum, we ensure that pupils not only grasp the essential knowledge but also apply it through exciting and memorable learning opportunities.
