Our ORE Curriculum
We have a bespoke curriculum at Ore Village Primary Academy which is designed with our community and the needs of our children at it’s centre.
Our ORE curriculum gives our children OPPORTUNITIES:
Opportunities to make direct links between their lives and the lives of others and develop a deep understanding of the world around them
Opportunities to widen their vocabulary
Opportunities to develop their cultural capital and understanding of diversity
Our ORE curriculum builds RESILIENCE
Resilience to enjoy the pursuit of knowledge and become lifelong learners
Resilience to build their personal, learning and thinking skills
Resilience to learn from challenges and setbacks
Our ORE curriculum EXPANDS MINDS
Expands minds through constant retrieval of core knowledge
Expands minds through the exploration of deep learning questions
Expands minds through a clear progression of knowledge and skills built year on year
At the heart of all we do are our CARE values - Cooperation, Achievement, Respect and Empathy.
We believe our curriculum will support our children in becoming successful, happy and empathic adults; able to pursue their aspirations now and in the future.
Through our curriculum, we believe children develop a deep understanding of the world around them which encourages empathy, tolerance and understanding of others. Our curriculum aims to create lifelong learners and develop their personal, learning and thinking skills. We intend it to excite, inspire and motivate our learners and have created a curriculum which makes direct links to their community and lives for example, our Year 3 4 topic on the Mary Stanford Life boat tragedy which occurred just along the coast in Rye.
Our curriculum incorporates the statutory requirements of the National Curriculum.
Each term we have a whole school theme; through these themes our children are Geographers, Historians, Scientists and Philosophers
