School Curriculum

We recognise that every child is a unique, precious gift from God; we provide an environment where children feel safe, valued and nurtured within our school family.

We share a passion for life-long learning through a purposeful, inspiring and ambitious curriculum; where we overcome challenges together to flourish and grown into confident, independent and resilient learners who can unlock their future for a world in their time.

‘A place to belong and grow together’

Based on the feeding of the 5,000 Matthew 14:13-21

At Dilton Marsh C of E Primary School the curriculum encompasses planned and unplanned learning, by this we mean concepts such as being part of our school family, adopting a culture of kindness, mutual respect and doing our best.

Our curriculum is designed to equip children for their future; teaching a balance of knowledge and skills which are progressive in all areas of learning. The curriculum is built around a strong foundation with phonics and early reading at the heart of all we do for we believe the ability to read is the fundamental key for future learning.

At Dilton Marsh C of E Primary School we are inclusive by design, celebrating the diversity within our school family and further afield. The nurture, compassion and kindness we demonstrate is harnessed in clear routines and explicit expectations ensuring our children feel safe and develop a strong sense of belonging from the outset.

‘A place to belong and grow together’ enables pupils at Dilton Marsh to have the determination to overcome challenges they may face. This is underpinned by our 4 key values, Belong, Encourage, Endure and Serve. Our aim at Dilton Marsh C of E Primary School is to ‘grow’ individuals who are aspirational, resilient and determined and leave our school as confident individuals who will make valid contributions to our future society.
