Our Creative Curriculum

Our creative curriculum has led to us being crowned winners of the prestigious Educate Award for, ‘OUTSTANDING ARTS IN A PRIMARY SCHOOL’ for three years and to us being short-listed for the TES Award for, ‘CREATIVE SCHOOL OF THE YEAR’ 2019 and 2020’. Our children headlined at The Wirral Curriculum Conference and our senior leaders led workshops for the event.

Our strong links with Liverpool Hope University have led to aspirational visits for our more able children and both staff and children have led seminars and lectures for the teachers of the future sharing our learning about our creative curriculum, cultural capital, behaviour, phonics and SEND.

In November 2021, we were also awarded MOST INSPRIATIONAL PRIMARY SCHOOL. Having won three Educate Awards in the past for our outstanding arts provision, we understand the power of the arts and how it can bring joy and happiness. Children performed outside resident's windows, told a few Morecambe and Wise jokes, painted pictures for the home and produced a wonderful Christmas WWII vignette.
