Our Curriculum

"Learn and Believe ....

.... Aspire and Achieve!"

We create learners who have high aspirations, are self-motivated, engaged and take responsibility for their own education. Our curriculum ensures that children secure the skills, knowledge and understanding required to succeed in modern life Britain.

At Manor Community Primary School, we fulfil the ambition the of the national curriculum to ensure that our core and foundation subjects, are taught through a relevant, contextual and inspiring curriculum.

Our pupils learn to develop adaptable, flexible, critical thinking, as well as expressing their own thoughts, feelings and ideas. This is achieved by deepening children’s understanding of carefully chosen concepts, which underpins and drives our curriculum.

Our curriculum aims to develop

Behaviours and habits to become effective learners
High aspirations
Self-motivation and resilience
Independence and confidence
Excellent communication skills

Pride in producing high quality end products
Collaboration skills through working together
Creativity
Reflection and evaluation

We do this through subject specific pedagogy:

Right to Withdraw

At Manor Community Primary School, we value the importance of Religious Education in helping children understand a range of beliefs, develop respect for others, and explore their own values. However, in line with statutory guidance, parents and carers have the right to withdraw their child from all or part of RE.

If you wish to request a withdrawal, please email office@manor.kent.sch.uk at the start of each academic year, clearly stating your reasons. Parents can request withdrawal from all RE lessons or specific celebrations, but not from individual religions within the curriculum. This is in line with government guidance which allows withdrawal from the subject as a whole, but not selective withdrawal from particular faiths.

Once your request is received, a member of the Senior Leadership Team will be in touch to discuss your concerns, explain the RE curriculum in more detail, and support you in making an informed decision. Our RE curriculum is available on the school website for your reference.

Please note that this process must be repeated annually should you wish for your child to continue to be withdrawn from RE.

Children who are withdrawn from RE will be supervised in another classroom and provided with meaningful alternative work during that time.
