Curriculum Statement of Intent

Our curriculum is underpinned by our vision and values.

We aim to inspire our pupils whilst ensuring they are nurtured to achieve their full potential.

Rationale: Charnwood Primary Academy is situated in Lichfield in an area of high deprivation. Most pupils are from White British backgrounds. A small number of pupils speak English as an additional language. The proportion of pupils for whom the school receives the pupil premium is 25%. The proportion of pupils who have special educational needs supported through school action is 25%. The proportion of these pupils supported through school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs is above average at 3.5%.
