At Biscovey Primary Academy we aim for every child to flourish in a nurturing environment, demonstrate respect and kindness, whilst building resilience and ambition for the future.   

Our curriculum ensures that we deliver a range of topics across the age phases which develops sequential learning where pupils know more and can do more, ensuring that they are ready for their next stage in education. 

Our nurturing ethos endeavours to support all children and their families.  Through this approach we are able to work together to ensure that we meet the needs of all learners in our school. 

We pride ourselves on delivering an ambitious curriculum, focusing beyond the academic curriculum, developing a child’s individual character. Our core values; 'nurture', 'respect' and 'ambition' run through all areas of school life and learning which allows the whole child to develop into a confident and caring young individual. The Biscovey child shows respect, and through ambition, self-belief and courage approaches learning with an inquisitive mind. 

'Roots to grow, wings to fly’

At Biscovey Primary Academy every pupil has the best start through an ambitious curriculum. Our mission is to ensure that every child has access to the best start in education and not be disadvantaged by any factor in their life. Our curriculum offer is specifically designed and enriched with cultural capital to meet the interests of our pupils' background and experience, reflecting the local context and raising aspirations for all.    

We aim to give the children the necessary skills to prepare them for life in modern British society. As a truly inclusive primary school our curriculum reflects both the context of the school and the experiences of the children. This enables the children to be aspirational, to fulfil their potential and reach the highest of expectations that we have of them. We want all our pupils to reach their potential in everything they do. Our priority is to enable the children to succeed in the 21st century by providing a rich, relevant and exciting curriculum. In doing so the children will develop a lifelong love of learning.

Reading is placed at the centre of everything that we do here at Biscovey. The curriculum incorporartes high-quality texts, placing reading at the heart of all curriculum planning. This will promote language and vocabulary development of our young learners. Developing enquiry skills is central to the wider curriculum and a key question focuses pupils learning. We aim to build a knowledge rich curriculum, where learning is well sequenced in order for children to know and remember more. 

We know that consistently great teaching, immersive experiences and a nurturing, safe and  happy environment are key to building the foundations for future learning. Learning is arranged under overarching themes which are chosen specifically to meet the interests of our pupils reflecting the background and experience of all.  We do this by providing a rich, relevant, and exciting curriculum.  

 In doing so the children will develop a lifelong love of learning. Developing the love of reading, writing for different purposes, being able to apply their maths skills to real life situations, being able to talk about our learning is at the heart of what we do. 

The curriculum is enriched in a variety of ways: trips; visitors; real world contexts; innovative and inspiring experiences; cross-curricular links; purposeful use of the environment and local area.  

We believe that knowledge will only become solidly embedded in children's memories when subjects are taught holistically, and links between subjects are made. Whilst ensuring the distinctiveness of National Curriculum objectives are taught, we aim to provide children with joined up experiences, where children are immersed in their learning.
