We are extremely proud of our curriculum at Newcroft, which has been developed with our teachers around the National Curriculum, our children's interests and their barriers to learning.
We are lucky to be located in Charnwood, Leicestershire, with the countryside and towns and large cities nearby. We have developed our curriculum to take full advantage of what is on offer locally, as well as further afield, which in turn to helps us to provide excellent enrichment opportunities to build our pupils' cultural capital.

At Newcroft Primary Academy, we offer all pupils high quality learning experiences to ensure they are well-equipped for the next stage in their education, and for their futures. Our curriculum encourages creativity, is ambitious and inclusive; the development of pupils’ character is a fundamental aspect of this. We set high expectations of all learners, guiding pupils to develop high aspirations for themselves, alongside building their resilience and cultural capital. We aim for every pupil to be proud of their achievements, their progress and our school community.
Our ambitious curriculum is based on the National Curriculum and is planned for our pupils using a scaffolding approach. Reading and high-quality texts are at the core of its design. Foundation subjects and English are organised into topics, allowing subjects and concepts to be interwoven to ensure prior learning and knowledge gained in one area of the curriculum, supports learning in another. Our approach provides critical links, to enable pupils to know more and remember more. Our curriculum is progressive; substantive and disciplinary knowledge, as well as subject vocabulary, are clearly mapped out. Our taught curriculum is complemented by an extensive extra-curricular offer.
Curriculum end points are clearly mapped out in each subject, incorporating the end of key stage expectations. Summative assessments, alongside low stakes quizzing and flashbacks, allow staff to assess the impact of the curriculum.
