Weston Village Primary SchoolCurriculum
Be the Best You Can Be
At Weston Village Primary School, our curriculum offers every child a world of opportunity—academically, socially, emotionally, and creatively. It’s designed to inspire curiosity, challenge, and confidence, helping children develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes they need to succeed, now and in the future.
Our mission is clear: Success for all will be desirable, demanded and achievable. We aim high for every child, and through our carefully sequenced and inclusive curriculum, we make sure that everyone can Be the Best You Can Be.
Curriculum Intent
We are proud to offer a broad, balanced, and ambitious curriculum that:
✅ Equips children with essential knowledge, skills, and understanding
✅ Builds resilience, independence, and positive wellbeing
✅ Nurtures inclusive attitudes and celebrates diversity
✅ Prepares pupils for their next stage of learning and life in modern Britain
Our curriculum recognises and celebrates the fact that each child is unique. We are committed to ensuring that all pupils, including those with additional needs or vulnerabilities, can access, engage with, and succeed in our curriculum. Our approach is flexible and inclusive, with appropriate scaffolds and high expectations for all learners.
We make the most of local learning opportunities, alongside global learning themes, so children develop a rich understanding of both their community and the wider world.
Our Class Structure & Admissions
At Weston, we organise our classes in a way that supports both high-quality teaching and the best possible learning experiences for our children.
Prior to 2022, our Published Admission Number (PAN)—that’s the number of places we could offer in each year group—was 38. This meant we organised classes across mixed age groups, particularly in Key Stage 2.
In September 2022, we reduced our PAN to 30, enabling us to move towards single-year group classes.
As of 2025, our Reception, Year 1, and Year 2 cohorts are now each taught in single-age classes of up to 30 children.
In Key Stage 2, we still have some mixed-age classes, as the older cohorts continue with the previous PAN of 38. Over time, this will naturally transition to seven single-year group classes, with one class per year group across the school.
We are experienced in delivering an effective and engaging curriculum in both mixed-age and single-year group settings. Every teacher has an expert understanding of the whole-school curriculum, ensuring seamless progression, challenge, and support for every child.
