At Nancy Reuben Primary School, our curriculum is rooted in our Jewish ethos and guided by the values of Torah, kindness, respect, responsibility and care for others. We provide an ambitious, inclusive and inspiring education that enables every child to flourish academically, spiritually, socially and emotionally.

Our broad, balanced and carefully sequenced curriculum helps pupils to develop secure knowledge, strong skills and a rich vocabulary. It builds on what children already know, fosters curiosity and creativity, and enables them to make meaningful connections within and across subjects. We have high expectations for every pupil and provide appropriate support and challenge so that all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, can participate fully, achieve well and experience success.

Learning is enriched through high-quality literature, purposeful discussion, practical experiences, educational visits and opportunities to engage with the wider world. Alongside academic excellence, we place great importance on pupils’ character, wellbeing and personal development. We encourage children to think critically, ask thoughtful questions, communicate confidently, develop independence and acquire the practical life skills they need for the future.

Our curriculum nurtures a genuine enjoyment of learning within a caring, stimulating and mutually supportive environment. It helps pupils to develop a strong sense of identity and belonging, while learning to understand and respect people whose backgrounds, beliefs and experiences may differ from their own.

Through our curriculum, we aim to ensure that every child leaves Nancy Reuben Primary School as a knowledgeable, confident, compassionate and responsible individual, well prepared for the next stage of their education and able to contribute positively to British society and the wider world.
