In The Weald Federation, we endeavour to provide pupils with the knowledge, understanding, attitudes, values and skills they need to reach their full potential as individuals, and within their community. We believe that primary education should never be solely about academic achievement and that children need to be developed, in a range of ways, so that they become happy, healthy and accomplished individuals throughout childhood, adolescence and into adulthood. Our curriculum aims to help pupils:
- Understand the fundamental characteristics of positive relationships between friends, family, children and adults.
- Learn respect and tolerance for the diverse world in which we live and that our differences can be celebrated as what makes us unique and special.
- Understand the value of personal boundaries and respecting the boundaries of others.
- Understand the principles of positive relationships also apply online and the importance of staying safe online.
- Develop positive personal attributes which reflect our wider school ethos and values: Courage, Trust, Creativity, Justice, Forgiveness, Peace, Humility, Truth, Thankfulness, Compassion, Hope, Friendship
- Develop a clear understanding of mental health; how to support their own and the mental health of others.
