Manor Farm Junior School’s Curriculum Vision

At Manor Farm junior School, our school values set the foundation for all learning. These values are demonstrated through our carefully planned curriculum. Through delivering our high quality curriculum, children will develop their understanding of the world, critical thinking, social competence, problem solving and personal integrity. These are the skills of a curious and brave life long learner. We aim to base all learning around these critical skills, values and competencies in order to develop well rounded, interested and adaptable individuals.

We provide an inclusive learning environment where all pupils are valued and enjoy their education. We foster equality and ensure that our curriculum addresses disadvantage and aspires to support all pupils to achieve. all aspects of our curriculum are accessible to children, irrespective of their background, gender, disability, religious or linguistic background and complies with our duties in the Equality Act 2010 and the Special Educational Needs and Disability Regulations 2014.
