At Leamington Primary Academy, our curriculum, underpinned by current research, has been specifically developed and adapted for the needs and interests of all our children. Our curriculum is carefully designed to address identified barriers of learning from within our community. Fluency in the core subjects, with reading at the heart, enables access to the full curriculum and is therefore integral to our approach.

We know that our children need a curriculum that embeds knowledge, expands vocabulary and captures their imagination.  Our curriculum allows children to retain knowledge and vocabulary. It is carefully designed so that children can build on knowledge and skills learned, and use them in the next stage of their education. An ambitious curriculum based on compassion, integrity and a pursuit of excellence, opening doors for the future success of all of our children to fulfil their potential and beyond.

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.
