Olton Curriculum
We want to provide our children with a rich, engaging and empowering curriculum that builds on their knowledge, understanding and skills whilst catering for their needs and interests.
We recognise that the curriculum we deliver is the toolkit we send our children out into the world with. It reflects our context, core values and the kind of citizens we want them to be. We have to be ambitious for them and prepare them for an ever changing world.
Our six school values underpin our curriculum and all aspects of life in school and are our key drivers:
Respect
Responsibility
Perseverance
Are pupils able to work alongside others and be respectful and reflective of differing views and beliefs?

Our curriculum aims at Olton Primary are:
- To equip the children with the academic skills and knowledge that will enable them to successfully embark on the next stage of their educational journey.
- To provide a wide range of experiences and opportunities to make learning memorable.
- To develop the personal attributes needed to enable them to become successful and responsible citizens through developing a sense of self so they value and understand their own place in the world and that of others.
- To develop our pupils’ cultural appreciation and their understanding of our amazing world.
- To make something about every week extraordinary.
