    • Curriculum

    At Daisyfield Primary School, we work to our mission statement, ‘Dream, Believe and Achieve’. We pride ourselves on providing a learning environment where children grow and develop in safe and supporting surroundings. We aim to instil in all our children a passion for learning; we want the children to get the most out of life and be ambitious for their futures.

    We also have a duty to promote the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs. These values are embedded throughout our curriculum and promoted to ensure that our children are ready to leave school fully prepared for life in modern Britain.

    Our curriculum at Daisyfield is not solely focused on academic subjects and achievement; we provide pupils with rich learning experiences, educational visits, residential visits and enrichment opportunities. We want our children to have fun at school and talk about their primary years being full of great memories.

    Our vision is to provide an overall education which prepares each pupil with the tools and strategies needed to cope with challenges they may face and we aim to ensure that our children know how to make a positive contribution to their community and wider society.

    Our full curriculum policy can be found below with further links to our curriculum pages which contain more information for individual subjects.

    Individual subject policies are available on request.
