Curriculum

At Higher Walton CE Primary School we provide a creative curriculum of topics, which takes account of our mixed-age school structure.

We have a rolling 3 year cycle of exciting topics for each age phase within the school:

  • Foundation Stage  (Nursery and Reception)
  • Key Stage 1  and Year 3
  • Key Stage 2 (Year 4 to 6)
  • We have adopted the "Learning Means the World" curriculum which takes a creative and thematic approach to learning, mapped to the National Curriculum to ensure comprehensive coverage of national expectations.
