Curriculum
The Curriculum at SedlescombeThe curriculum is all the planned activities that we organise in order to promote learning, personal growth and development. It includes not only the formal requirements of the National Curriculum, but also the range of extra-curricular activities that the school organises in order to enrich the experiences of the children at Sedlescombe Church of England Primary School. It also includes the hidden curriculum, or what the children learn from the way they are treated and expected to behave. We aim to teach children how to grow into positive, responsible people, who can work and co-operate with others whilst developing the skills, attitudes and values to grow into responsible members of our global community and God’s world. Full details of our curriculum including our aims can be found in our Curriculum Policy or a snap shot is available in our Curriculum overview.

Our Upcoming Events & Activities
Our Environment
We have designed a warm, welcoming environment inspired by the Danish concept of hygge. Classrooms are calm and inviting, with natural materials and soft lighting used wherever possible to help children feel safe, settled and ready to learn. Our learning spaces are designed to spark curiosity and celebrate individuality. We want every child to feel known, valued and supported, so they can learn, feel loved, and grow into confident, compassionate individuals.
Each classroom features a bespoke reading area, filled with high-quality, age-appropriate books. We want every child to become fluent readers with a lifelong love of reading — because we believe reading enables everyone to become a life-long learner.
Beyond the classroom, our outdoor environment has been developed with children in mind. It includes a running sports area for running and active play, a construction zone for creativity and problem-solving, an outdoor gym to promote physical wellbeing, and a stage area complete with dressing-up clothes and music to encourage imaginative expression.
OUR CHILDREN
At the heart of our school is each and every child. As a small school we are able to know each child as an individual and can build on their strengths and nurture and support their weaknesses. Our children are taught by dedicated, hard working staff who make learning fun and exciting whilst ensuring that we provide a high quality education so that every child realises his or her potential.
Head Teacher Welcome
"I’m proud to lead a school where we are all “Learning, Loving and Growing Together with God.” A motto that reflects our commitment to nurturing every child academically, emotionally and spiritually.
We believe children flourish when they feel safe, valued and inspired. Our homely environment fosters a strong sense of belonging and encourages children to be courageous and aspirational in their learning. We have built a rich and engaging curriculum that makes learning an adventure and extends beyond the classroom offering experiences that spark curiosity and build life long memories.
We warmly invite you to explore our website and discover what makes our school such a special place to learn and grow."
