From the Polperro Primary Academy
The curriculum at Wadebridge Primary Academy has been especially designed with our kids' needs and interests in mind. Our goal is to prepare students for the opportunities, encounters, and obligations of adult life. Our dedication to a creative approach empowers our kids and fosters chances for more in-depth learning, creativity, and imagination. Every day and consistently throughout the school, guided reading is taught in reading-level-banded groups. To give the kids a purpose and an audience, topics are used as often as feasible when teaching writing.
Personal, Social, and Health Education, also known as PSHE, is a crucial component of the curriculum. Every youngster is taught the difference between good and wrong as well as how to be accountable for their own actions. It is encouraged to support both regional and international charities. Every year, all kids participate in 5 hours of coached swimming and water safety instruction to help them become more comfortable and alert around water.
