Westcliff Primary Academy – Intent, Implementation and Impact Statement
At Westcliff Primary Academy, our curriculum is underpinned by the belief that every child deserves a high-quality education that enables them to be the best that they can be; the best version of themselves. We place children at the centre of our curriculum design, ensuring it is ambitious, inclusive, and tailored to meet the needs of all learners—regardless of their background or starting point.
Our curriculum is coherently planned and sequenced to ensure children build on prior knowledge and develop a deep understanding across a broad range of subjects. It is designed not only to meet the expectations of the National Curriculum but to extend beyond it—offering rich learning experiences that promote academic success, physical well-being, creativity, and personal development.
We are committed to ensuring that our curriculum equips pupils with the essential knowledge, skills, and cultural capital they need to succeed in life. Through carefully chosen themes, subject links, and real-world experiences, our pupils are encouraged to explore key concepts, develop curiosity, and make meaningful connections across the curriculum.
Preparation for the future is central to our vision. We embed careers education and aspiration-raising opportunities throughout the curriculum, enabling pupils to see the relevance of their learning and to imagine possibilities beyond their current context. In doing so, we foster resilience, self-belief, and a strong sense of personal and social responsibility.
Our learning environment promotes mutual respect, inclusion, and high expectations for all. We aim to develop confident, articulate learners who can think critically, express themselves clearly, and engage positively with the world around them.
Our curriculum is designed to ensure that when our pupils leave Westcliff Primary to move on to secondary education and beyond, they:
▪ Demonstrate positive attitudes to their learning; embracing challenge and exhibiting resilience and perseverance which fosters a growth mindset.
▪ Have a secure understanding of the fundamental skills in reading, writing and maths.
▪ Are independent and inquisitive learners.
▪ Are ambitious and take pride in all that they do.
▪ Are compassionate and caring; demonstrating high levels of respect for others.
▪ Are confident and responsible citizens who contribute to and demonstrate an appreciation of the world they live in.
▪ Are articulate; demonstrating the ability to question, debate and challenge.
