Our school is unique: not only do we strive to be a brilliant centre of learning for your child, we also thrive on opportunities to be research-engaged in order that our staff have the best learning opportunities for themelves.
At Meldreth Primary School, we believe that an ambitious and exciting curriculum is key to transforming children’s lives and nurturing them into lifelong learners. By fostering curiosity, we inspire a love of learning that both enriches our pupils and equips them with the knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes they need to find their place in modern Britain and the wider world.
Our curriculum has been thoughtfully designed by our dedicated staff to provide children with opportunities to acquire deep and meaningful knowledge. Through a broad and balanced range of subjects, children are encouraged to explore and apply their learning in creative, practical, and purposeful ways—preparing them for life beyond primary school.
Learning at Meldreth is driven by high aspirations. We want every child to succeed academically, but we also recognise that education is about more than just results. Our curriculum is a powerful tool for developing the whole child—supporting creative, physical, and personal growth. We explicitly teach values aligned with modern British Values to help children build a strong moral foundation. Through this, they learn compassion, respect, tolerance, and forgiveness.
To ensure strong foundations in literacy, we follow the FFT Success for All Phonics scheme. We also use FFT resources to support and embed spelling and reading in Key Stage 2, ensuring continuity and progression in children’s reading journey.
At Meldreth Primary School, we are committed to providing a curriculum that supports every child to thrive and grow. Our aims underpin everything we do and shape the experiences we offer throughout the school day. We aim:
- For each child to fulfil their potential socially, intelectually, physically, spiritually and emotionally in a secure, happy environment
- For all children to have high levels of understanding of a wide range of subjects
- To deliver a broad and balanced curriculum where learning experiences enable children to become independent, confident nd responsible learners
- To develop high quality literacy, numeracy and communication (oracy) skills
- To have respect for religious and moral values, encouraging self deiscipline and a caring responsible attitude towards others
- To introduce children to the world, through scientific enquiry and to help them towards an understanding of the interdependence of people both today and in the past
These aims are central to what makes Meldreth Primary School a supportive, effective, and exciting learning environment for all children.
Our curriculum also fulfils the requirements of the Equality Act and the Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) Regulations, ensuring every child can access and benefit from the opportunities we provide.
Parents and prospective parents are warmly encouraged to contact the Headteacher to discuss any aspect of our curriculum.
