At Leedstown we have adopted our Trust values for our own school values, ‘Strength, Wisdom, Courage’.

Our curriculum is underpinned by three key principles:

• Locality – We seek for the children of Leedstown to be aware of our place in the world, looking upwards and outwards. We explore this at local, national and international level.
• Aspirations – We are passionate about the children of Leedstown looking forward to all they could achieve, dreaming of places they could go and things they could do, becomingly increasingly aware of their role as a global citizen.
• Healthy body and mind – We pursue healthy outcomes which include a healthy body and mind, seeking to understanding our role in the 21^st century.

We make reference to the requirements of the primary National Curriculum, through a cross-curricular, inspiring, engaging and enquiry-based approach that is taught with the consideration of the needs of all learners. Each learning opportunity has been carefully selected and shaped to build on previous learning and this allows a clear path of progression in all the different subject areas.

We seek to know each child as an individual in our school community. At Leedstown every child has an equal opportunity to reach their potential, being supported and challenged to achieve this.

At Leedstown, we teach a bespoke curriculum, with individually designed half-termly topics for each class.

Our Aims:

• Provide a rich, stimulating, and creative learning environment in which all children thrive.
• Ensure the inclusion of all children.
• Involve parents as partners in their child’s learning experience.
• Create a friendly, caring atmosphere where all are valued and listened to, adults and children alike.
• Support the professional development of all employees at the school.
• Develop and maintain inter-school liaison for ease of transition from Pre-School and then to Secondary School.
• Provide strong links between the school and the community to ensure collaborative support and success.
• Provide strong inter-school links between Kernow Learning schools and other local Primary schools.
• Provide childcare and a wide range of activities under the extended schools agenda.
• We encourage all children to enjoy and achieve through a range of opportunities to be physically active and promote positive attitudes towards healthy lifestyles both in and out of school.

Cultural capital

This is the range of experiences that enable our children to understand and discuss the world through trips, visitors, hands-on tasks and other relevant activities. These should help them to develop as independent and inquisitive learners so they are carefully selected and woven into our curriculum to have the maximum impact.
