Reception Home / Classes / Reception / Introduction At Sudell Primary School our curriculum approach is underpinned by three key drivers that inform everything we do and all of our planning. These three drivers help us to fulfil our aim of offering our wonderful children a truly world class education. Our three curriculum drivers are designed to ensure that we offer a broad and balanced curriculum that is rich in: Knowledge Experience Social Conscience Our curriculum is based on the National Curriculum. Our pupils are offered a very wide range of experiences to extend their understanding of themselves and the world in which they live. Skills, attitudes and values are developed to prepare the children for the next stage of learning (Key Stage 1 and 2 ready and secondary ready), and enable them to be successful in the community. We believe that effective learning takes place when there is considerable emphasis on active involvement, opportunities to talk both imaginatively, expressively and to explain and clarify thinking. The school expects everyone to develop and show a sense of responsibility and self-discipline whether alone, together, at work or at play, and to support policies on equal opportunities. We actively promote British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs to prepare our pupils for life in modern day Britain. We also provide opportunities for our pupils to learn about the contribution of Britons to innovation, excellence and changes in the world. At Sudell Primary School we believe that through clear, discrete subject specific teaching we can develop a clear knowledge rich curriculum that will benefit our learners, a majority of whom are from ‘disadvantaged’ families. Through combining this with our aims of making our curriculum rich in experience and social conscience we believe that we can fulfill our curriculum aims/ ‘big intent’. Our children deserve the very best; we believe our curriculum offers them this.

Aldridge Education Home / About Us / Aldridge Education / “A good education gives people skills and qualifications, and it instils confidence, along with preparing young people for the challenges of life. Everyone has the right to expect an exciting, engaging and relevant education, regardless of who they are, or where they live” Sir Rod Aldridge OBE, Founder Sudell is a member of the Aldridge Education family of schools, which locally also includes Darwen Aldridge Community Academy , Darwen Vale High School and Darwen Aldridge Enterprise Studio school. Aldridge Education is a charitable Trust of entrepreneurial community schools and colleges that help young people to reach their potential. We support our schools’ Principals and teachers in rapidly improving the quality of education on offer at early years, primary, secondary and sixth-form levels in order to transform the life-chances of our students. Our vision is that every student at an Aldridge school will achieve academically beyond initial personal expectations and prior attainment. Their learning and experiences in education will give them a wide perspective on the opportunities open to them and they will develop the practical skills to access every opportunity they want in life. Aldridge Education was established as a national multi-academy trust by the Aldridge Foundation in 2016, taking over responsibility from the Foundation for its family of non-selective academy schools and colleges. Our shared belief is that by introducing young people to, and helping develop in them, the core attributes of entrepreneurship, we can provide context and relevance to their learning, fostering creativity, passion, determination, risk taking, problem solving and teamwork. These characteristics help our students achieve in their education and acquire further vital skills for adult life.

- Attendance | Sudell Primary
Attendance Home / Parents / Attendance / Sudell gives your child a wide range of experiences in the form of academic lessons, educational trips and clubs. The more your child is in the School the more they increase their opportunity to fulfil their potential. School can also help your child’s social skills, such as making and keeping friendships. A regular and punctual attendance pattern will help your child when they enter the world of work. PARENT/CARER RESPONSIBILITIES The links between attendance and attainment are clear. Regular attendance means your child can make the most of their education, improving their chances in adult life. In order to achieve their full potential we expect all Sudell children to maintain attendance of at least 97%. Parents and Carers can help by: Ensuring contact information (addresses and telephone numbers) is kept up to date. Ensuring your child arrives at the Academy on time (at 8:55 am), properly dressed and prepared for learning. Contacting the school office on the first and any subsequent days of absence stating the reason for the absence and when your child is likely to return. Where possible, providing medical evidence for any illness – this will be required if your child’s attendance falls below 90%. Where possible, please try to arrange medical and dental appointments out of school hours. If this is not possible, your child should only be out of school for the minimum amount of time necessary for the appointment. If you have any difficulty meeting these targets or would like any further information about school attendance please contact our Home School Liaison Officer on 01254 703440 DID YOU KNOW... 95% attendance means 10 missed school days 95% attendance means 10 missed school days 90% attendance means 19 missed school days 85% attendance means 29 missed school days There are 175 non-school days per year! Please use these days to make appointments, go on holiday and spend time together.

- British Values | Sudell Primary
British Values Curriculum Home / Curriculum / British Values / British Values are important to Sudell Primary School, embedding a culture of high standards and common decency. Message of the Week assemblies, weekly reflections, RE lessons and cross-curricular links, regularly reinforce the five British Values of Respect, Individual Liberty, Tolerance, Democracy and Rule of Law. Each class records this important work in their SMSC (Social, Moral, Spiritual and Cultural) book. British Values are taught alongside the Aldridge Attributes of Teamwork, Passion, Determination, Problem Solving, Creativity, Risk Taking and Social Conscience. At Sudell, we believe that in order to promote these Attributes as well as British Values it must be woven through all we do.
