Oxenhope CE Primary School
We provide the rich soil allowing children to flourish and develop deep roots. We nurture growth, enabling children to thrive as our Christian values blossom in their lives. We cultivate a sense of pride in our rural community where children are loved and valued.
May our children flourish in their youth like well-nurtured plants. Psalm 144 v 12.
Throughout our curriculum and school life, along with our school vision, these three golden strands permeate through everything we do.
Community
Jesus often spoke of unity in our communities and encouraging one another on our journey. He spoke of bearing each other’s burdens in love and helping those in need.
‘Live in harmony with one another.’ Romans 12 v 16
Love
It says in the Bible that God is Love and encompasses all that is loving and good. Jesus showed the ultimate unconditional love when he laid down his life for us on the cross. Therefore, this love should lead to a desire to love other people.
‘Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us and offered himself as a sacrifice for us.’ Ephesians 5 v 2
Growth
Just like a plant, we must endure the difficult times along with the good; but God has sent us his Holy Spirit to help and strengthen us so we can bear fruit and grow in the likeness of Christ.
‘Grown in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.’ 2 Peter 3 v 18
Our aim is to provide our children with a curriculum which gifts them time to wonder, reflect and grow. The progression in skills and knowledge which our curriculum offers means our children can flourish academically, socially, and spiritually surrounded by a community of love.
Our bespoke, knowledge-rich curriculum is closely aligned to our school vision and values and is carefully designed, planned, and sequenced to meet the specific needs of our school.
Our curriculum is monitored and developed by subject leaders, senior leaders and BDAT who work closely with class teachers to provide the necessary knowledge and skills for each year group. We also provide CPD to ensure that our teaching reflects best practice.
