The curriculum at Parklands Infant and Nursery School is designed to raise achievement and aspiration. We strive to ‘establish a life-long love of learning within a caring environment, in which we encourage all children to fulfil their potential through enjoyable and enriching experiences.

At the heart of our curriculum we want pupils to understand why they come to school; why it is important to learn what they learn, to 'grow their brain', to belong to a community with a strong ethos and values. We want them to understand that they are going to be a part of and make a contribution to society and school is the key to this. The Parklands Person ethos (Safe, Kind, Polite, Positive, Important, Respectful) provides learners with a set of values and they strive to achieve these.

At Parklands, we aim to deliver a broad and balanced curriculum that promotes spiritual, moral, social and cultural (SMSC) development throughout.  Through the curriculum our learners are encouraged to celebrate their identity as Great Britons of the 21st Century, cultivate aspirations and to respect the British values of democracy, rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of others.

Through our Learning Challenge Curriculum, we aim to engage all learners and encourage curiosity, awe and a sense of fun.  We carefully adapt our lessons to ensure that every pupil has the opportunity to access all of the knowledge in a way that suits them best and to ensure that our school ethos, 'The best for each, success for all' is achieved.
