At Wallop Primary School, we offer a rich and well-balanced curriculum that strives to enable every child to achieve in reading, writing and maths, while also developing their knowledge, skills and understanding across all subject areas. We nurture pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development throughout the curriculum.

In our Early Years class, learning follows a child-centred approach shaped around the children’s interests. We encourage curiosity! In Key Stages 1 and 2, subjects are taught discretely rather than through a topic approach. This ensures children develop the specific skills and knowledge needed to become confident historians, geographers, scientists, artists and more. Our mixed-age classes follow a carefully planned rolling programme to ensure full statutory National Curriculum coverage.

Oracy is a key focus across our school, with dedicated lessons to teach and encouraged speaking skills, active listening and confidence in articulating their thinking. We are also developing strategies to help children commit learning to their long-term memory, including regular retrieval practice woven into lessons.

At Wallop, we believe that Every Learning Minute Matters. This ethos underpins everything we do. We strive for all children to develop curiosity, resilience and a love of learning, and to achieve the very best they can.
