Curriculum Intent at All Saints CEVA Primary and Nursery Unit

Welcome to our Curriculum Intent page. As a maintained Church of England primary
school in the heart of Wellingborough, we are proud to offer a rich, inclusive education
for our diverse community of learners. Our curriculum is thoughtfully designed to reflect
our unique heritage, values, and the needs of our children, guiding them on a journey of
discovery and growth.

How Our Vision Drives the Curriculum

At All Saints, “With Jesus as our guide,” we shape every aspect of our curriculum
around the teachings and example of Jesus Christ. This foundation informs not only
what we teach but how we nurture our children’s development — intellectually,
spiritually, socially, and emotionally.

Our curriculum intent is deeply rooted in our vision and values, which inspire everything
we do:

• Inspiring a Passion for Learning
  We believe every child should leave All Saints having discovered their passion,
  whether that be in literacy, numeracy, the arts, sciences, or sports. Our balanced
  and broad curriculum ensures that all subjects are valued equally and taught with
  enthusiasm to ignite curiosity and a love of learning. For example, children
  explore themes through engaging topics, hands-on investigations, creative arts,
  and outdoor learning experiences, fostering wonder and a desire to ask “why?”
• High Aspirations for All
  We hold no ceiling on what our children can achieve. Reflecting our school’s
  origins as a place of opportunity for working families, we are committed to
  providing all children — regardless of background or ability — with the chance to
  excel. Our curriculum is carefully sequenced to build on prior knowledge, helping
  children master essential skills and develop confidence to tackle new challenges.
• Respect for All
  Our curriculum promotes equality, mutual respect, and acceptance of diversity.
  Through our teaching, children learn to appreciate different beliefs, cultures, and
  perspectives, preparing them to be compassionate and responsible citizens. This
  is woven into all subjects and school life, ensuring our children understand the
  importance of kindness and tolerance.
• Working with All Your Heart
  Inspired by Colossians 3:22, we encourage children and staff alike to approach
  all learning with dedication and integrity, recognising that their efforts are
  meaningful and valued. This ethos motivates our children to give their best,
  whether in academic work, creative pursuits, or community activities.

Curriculum Structure and Approach

• We follow the National Curriculum, enriched by Christian values and local
  context, ensuring a coherent, progressive learning experience.
• Our curriculum is inclusive and responsive, meeting the needs of our diverse
  learners, including those with Special Educational Needs (23% of our pupils),
  English as an Additional Language (33.8%), and Pupil Premium children
  (12.2%).
• We foster strong links between subjects, helping children make connections and
  deepen their understanding.
• Regular opportunities for reflection, discussion, and practical application help
  children develop critical thinking skills and resilience.
• We provide a variety of enrichment activities, including forest school sessions,
  arts projects, and community events, to broaden learning beyond the classroom.
