Vision
At Marfleet we want to give all our children the best start in life academically and as citizens. Above all, we want them to be highly literate, able to access all the learning necessary to prepare them for a complex, changing, technological and competitive world.
We want all our students to be ambitious for themselves and about their futures. We will provide the pathways and support for them to realise their ambitions.
Statutory Curriculum
Alongside our statutory core subjects of Reading, Writing, Maths and Science, as laid out in the National Curriculum, our wider curriculum includes:
- History
- Geography
- RE
- MFL (French)
- Art
- Design and Technology
- Roots (Healthy Minds and Bodies)/PHSCE (Personal, Health, Social, Citizenship, Emotional)

- PE, including swimming
Some of these subjects are delivered by specialist staff.
Inclusivity
At our school we recognise children’s individual learning needs. We strive to create an environment and opportunities that enable all children to achieve success. For some, this might involve personalised support, small group work or parents and staff working in partnership with our SEND team.
Intent
At Marfleet we want to ensure all learners, receive the knowledge and cultural capital they need to succeed in life. Our curriculum extends beyond the academic, technical or vocational. It provides for our wonderful children broader development, enabling them to develop and discover their interests and talents. We want our children to leave us well rounded, respectable and ready for the world!
- It is much more than a ‘curriculum’ it is what we believe in as a school
- It has been built with every single Marfleet child in mind
- Its focus is on developing the ‘Whole child’ not just their academic ability

Planning
Creative curriculum
All creative curriculum subjects are carefully planned for by teachers and managed by the school’s Creative Curriculum Manager. The curriculum is carefully mapped out from EYFS to Year 6 ensuring there is a clear focus on knowledge progression as well as a focus on developing subject specific vocabulary. The curriculum is split into 6 half termly topics which are grouped, meaning classes across Year 1 to Year 6 learn through the same theme. These cycles run for 6 weeks followed by an Art or Design and Technology project. In addition to this we have selected 3 specialist weeks which cover areas important to our children – In 2022/23 this will be Black History, our local area and health and fitness. Each topic has carefully selected intentional
