Key Information

Our Curriculum

A broad, ambitious curriculum designed to nurture every child's confidence, character and love of learning — rooted in the world around them.

Updated 14 October 2025 · Reading time 6 min

A curriculum with purpose

Our curriculum is built around three quiet convictions: that children thrive when they feel known, that knowledge is the foundation of confidence, and that the world outside our classrooms is our richest teacher. From Reception to Year 6, we sequence learning carefully — revisiting big ideas so that they stick, and building bridges between subjects so that pupils see the whole picture.

Reading sits at the heart of everything. Every child leaves Chorleywood as a confident, curious reader, ready to make sense of the world on their own terms.
