At Brooklands Primary and Nursery School, our vision is to 'Make Everyday Count; instilling a life-long love of learning'. This is embodied within our curriculum which is structured to prepare our children to be compassionate citizens of our world, valuing the local context and community. It is our duty, through our curriculum, to ensure our children are ready to flourish at secondary school and have the capacity to be successful in what will be their 'modern Britain'. For this to happen, the children must reach high standards of literacy and numeracy. They must have a keen sense on what it means to be 'British' in a Britain that celebrates the differences we all have in our life choices, relationships and, indeed, opinions.

Our curriculum, underpinned by current research, ensures our children will be well-rounded individuals who are prepared for the next stage of their journey. It will promote the demonstration of compassion, integrity and a pursuit of excellence in order for our children to reach their potential. Our enquiry-based approach takes children on a journey of memorable learning through rich and purposeful experiences, culminating in authentic outcomes which leave a legacy on the wider world.

Fluency in the core subjects, with reading at the heart, enables access to the full curriculum and is therefore integral to our approach. The curriculum is carefully designed through termly enquiry drivers, History, Geography and Creative Arts, ensuring coverage, progression and retention of transferrable knowledge and skills. It aims to provide inclusive and aspirational environments where learners thrive and build the cultural-capital they need to make aspirational choices about their own future, overcoming any barriers. In order to achieve this our curriculum is underpinned by the following HEART principles:
