Gorseybrigg: built on belonging, shaped by kindness and driven by excellence
Gorseybrigg Primary School and Nursery’s curriculum is:
- Rich in knowledge and vocabulary
- A celebration of both excellence and diversity
- Grounded in books and reading
Rich in knowledge and vocabulary
We believe our children should have the opportunity to study areas of the curriculum in depth, immerse themselves in subjects and produce excellent outcomes. We give children time to focus on and embed their skills and develop their vocabulary in every subject.
- In Autumn, we focus on Geography and Design Technology
- In Spring, History is studied in every year group
- In Summer, Gorseybrigg children are immersed in the creative arts
A celebration of both excellence and diversity
We filter our teaching through big ideas so children can develop compassion and empathy. We support our children to engage with real world current issues in our local, national and worldwide community. Gorseybrigg children are introduced to the very best contexts to build their cultural capital.
Grounded in books and reading
Reading is at the heart of the Gorseybrigg experience. Our taught curriculum is rich with books from a range of cultures and eras. Our library is central to the life of the school and we want our children to immerse themselves in stories.
