Curriculum
Our curriculum is based upon statutory legislation, but the needs of the children at Cromford Church of England Primary School are paramount. Provision is made for any group/individual as appropriate. Equality issues are covered in subject areas such as PHSCE, but also in day to day discussion. They are particularly relevant in promoting mutual understanding.
We are involved in many activities that promote that promote pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. We are heavily involved in “Celebrating Cromford” and the village Christmas market. We also join members of the community at the Remembrance Day commemorations, writing and performing prayers. We also involve ourselves in “Children in Need”, McMillan Coffee Afternoons, and Red Nose Day.
Our curriculum materials reflect positive images of disabled people; of both women and men in non-stereotypical gender roles; and of people from a wide range of ethnic, religious and cultural backgrounds. Consideration is given to these images when new resources are published.
