At Longwick C of E Combined School, our aim is to inspire every pupil with a lifelong love of learning. We achieve this through a well-planned and carefully designed curriculum that caters to all our students, encouraging them to develop a deep passion for learning. Our Christian values form the foundation of everything we do, shaping our approach to education and helping to create a nurturing and inclusive environment.

Our curriculum is designed not only to strengthen core knowledge and skills but also to broaden students’ understanding of the world around them. It provides a strong foundation that helps them confidently adapt to the challenges of future learning and prepares them for life in Modern Britain. We believe that learning should inspire curiosity and encourage pupils to ask challenging questions and explore ideas in depth. This approach helps foster inspired, engaged learners who are ready to thrive in the 21st century.

While the National Curriculum forms the basis of what we teach, we have tailored it to meet the specific needs of our pupils, ensuring that it provides relevant and enriching opportunities for all. We recognise that every child learns differently, so we make thoughtful adaptations to support those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). We aim to create a curriculum that is accessible and inspiring for every learner, providing targeted support where needed to help each child achieve their full potential.

We understand that children learn best through memorable, firsthand experiences, so we enrich our curriculum with a variety of visits and practical activities.

By making connections between subjects in engaging and meaningful ways, we bring learning to life. Our skilled teaching staff regularly review and adjust our curriculum, using thorough assessments and the latest educational strategies to keep learning fresh, exciting, and relevant for all our students.

We offer a range of clubs during lunch and after school, giving opportunities for pupils to explore many interests such as radio club, maths mastery, gardening, football and singing. 

On each class page of our school website, you'll find a detailed Curriculum Map outlining what will be covered each half-term. We also provide families with helpful links to websites that support and enrich their children's learning. At Longwick C of E Combined School, we stay up to date with the latest educational research, ensuring that we encourage and provide opportunities for further exploration and extended learning beyond the classroom.
