Our curriculum rationale sets out what we intend to achieve through our teaching.

Coleridge offers a broad, balanced and creative English curriculum, focussed on achieving excellent standards in reading, writing and communication in all learners.

Little else matters more in a child’s education than learning to read. That is why so much time and energy is dedicated to ensuring all of our children not only learn to read, but love to read.

The Coleridge curriculum aims to spark an early interest and passion for learning. By giving all children access to a broad, rich curriculum, where no subject takes precedence over any other, we allow each child the chance to experience success and find the things that make them tick. Across the curriculum, all children make links in their learning to build a highly connected ‘web of understanding’ and a deep bag of knowledge and skill.
