Welcome ...

Welcome to our curriculum website, a window into the exciting learning journey we offer the children here at Leigh Academy Paddock Wood! As a vibrant primary academy rooted in our local community, we are proud to deliver a rich and engaging curriculum that empowers every child to thrive.

We believe in nurturing curious minds, fostering a love of learning, and developing well-rounded individuals. To achieve this, we have embraced the framework of the Primary Years Programme (PYP) of the International Baccalaureate. The PYP provides a powerful and dynamic structure that encourages inquiry-based learning, develops international-mindedness, and places the child at the centre of their education.

Through the transdisciplinary themes of the PYP, we seamlessly integrate the requirements of the National Curriculum, ensuring that our children not only meet but exceed national expectations in all subject areas. This unique approach allows us to make meaningful connections across different subjects, fostering a deeper understanding of the world around us and equipping our children with the skills and knowledge they need to become confident, responsible, and engaged learners.
