The Federation of Farnham and Rickling Curriculum Statement

At The Federation of Farnham and Rickling, the curriculum is designed to build upon our vision, ‘Through Faith and Nurture We Thrive – Life in all its fullness (John 10:10)’. The curriculum supports this vision by building children’s knowledge and skills in all core and foundation subjects.  Within the curriculum, every child is recognised as a unique individual.  This is reinforced with a focus on metacognitive and SMSC objectives so the children develop strong interpersonal skills, build resilience for independent learning and become creative, critical thinkers. 

Our curriculum provides first-hand curricular learning experiences, along with meaningful outdoor opportunities for investigations. This provides an enriched learning environment for all key stages. We believe that childhood should have a happy, investigative, and enquiring time in our school. Our aim is to create a thirst for new experiences and learning, promote curiosity and instil the value of knowledge in every child.

Community involvement is an essential part of our curriculum as we celebrate local traditions, learn new skills which enables the children to take an active role in events, both locally and worldwide, throughout the year.

Children leave the ‘The Federation of Farnham and Rickling’ with a sense of belonging to a tightly knit community where they have the confidence and skills to make decisions, self-evaluate and make connections to become lifelong learners.

Our school values:

Be Loving | Be Respectful | Be Responsible| Be Positive | Be You
