The Belfry CE VA Primary School

Curriculum

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails."

Mark Twain

The Components of the Belfry Curriculum

What We Teach

Our 'Belfry Curriculum' is made up of the National Curriculum in KS1 and KS2, the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) prior to this, and our own 'Childhood Curriculum' - everything else that children experience at school in addition to their basic entitlement to maths, English, history, PE, art, science etc. A great example of this is our newly-established and well-loved Forest School, in which every child takes part as a timetabled entitlement each year. Also, our commitment to extra-curricular sports and expressive arts clubs, educational visits, visitors, events, special days, children's performances and shows, and inter-school competitions, ensure we are not just about 'lessons'!  We strongly believe that these elements and opportunities allow Belfry children to enjoy "life in all its fullness" as promoted by the Diocese of Norwich and the Church of England as a whole.
