Our Spiral Curriculum
At Darley and Summerbridge, children are at the heart of everything we do. We foster a nurturing, ambitious, and inclusive learning environment where all pupils are supported to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
Our spiral curriculum begins in Pre-school, where children develop essential early skills through play-based learning. As they progress, their knowledge builds in carefully sequenced steps, allowing them to revisit and deepen their understanding across all foundation subjects. This knowledge-rich approach ensures children know more and remember more over time. Through engaging teaching, formative assessment, and high expectations, we develop curious, confident learners.
We celebrate diversity, promote cultural awareness, and provide enriching experiences that broaden horizons. Our pupils take responsibility for their learning and behaviour, preparing them for future success.
As they leave us, our children are resilient, respectful, and ready for secondary school. They embody our values, actively contribute to their communities, and embrace lifelong learning.
At Darley and Summerbridge, we are building futures with our school motto at the heart of our practice
“Keep Me Safe, Make Me Happy and Help Me Learn”
