Livingstone Primary School
Our Curriculum
At Livingstone Primary School, we are proud to offer a rich, carefully designed curriculum that inspires our children and opens doors to a wide range of opportunities. Alongside our academic curriculum, our co‑curriculum — including extra‑curricular activities, trips and wider experiences — helps every child discover new interests, develop confidence and enjoy school life to the fullest.
Our Three Guiding Principles
Our curriculum is shaped by three key principles:
-
Learning is a long‑term change in knowledge, skills or understanding, built steadily through study and experience.
-
Children should experience a broad and ambitious curriculum, developing strong long‑term memory of essential knowledge, skills and understanding by the end of each key stage.
-
High aspirations for every child, regardless of background, ability or need. We believe all children can achieve and thrive.
Our Curriculum Intent
We have thought deeply about what we want children to learn and experience during their time with us. Our Curriculum Intent sets out the knowledge, skills and personal qualities we aim for every child to develop, ensuring they leave Livingstone well‑prepared for the next stage of their education and for life beyond school.
Our Curriculum Implementation
To bring this intent to life, we have planned and sequenced learning carefully across all subjects. This ensures that children build on what they already know, make meaningful connections and develop a secure understanding over time. We enrich this learning with a wide range of experiences that help children apply their knowledge in real and memorable ways.
Our Curriculum Impact
While academic progress is important, we also look closely at the wider impact on each child — their confidence, curiosity, resilience and personal growth. We believe in nurturing the whole child and celebrating success in all its forms.
