For a curriculum to enable children to thrive and success, the context, experiences and qualities of the wider community must be considered at its core. We pride ourselves as a school on the diverse, multiculutural community we are part of.
At Chandos, we teach a curriculum unique to the needs of our children, inline with the requirements of the National Curriculum (2014). This provides the children the opportunity to explore their learning in an active and engaging manner, enhancing opportunities for the development of language and communication. Children are encouraged to learn as critical thinkers, challenge ideas and communicate their opinions and feels. Every child's opinion is valued.
At Chandos we:
Create successful, effective learners who understand and value scholarship and education.
Create competent, critical thinkers who can challenge and develop ideas.
Create effective communicators of our shared beliefs, values and learning.
Create tolerant and respectful global citizens who have an understanding and knowledge of our local, national and global communities.

All Reading and Writing units of work are linked to the topics. Every half termly topic has a list of books which are used for Reading sessions and to inspire Writing.
Mathematics, Religious Education, Physical Education, Foreign Languages, Computing and PSHE are taught discreetly.
The curriculum that we have designed will enable our children to progress successfully through their Primary learning journey, to achieve the expected national standards and be 'secondary ready' by the end of Year 6. Our children will have the knowledge and skills that they need to move onto the next stage of their education.
A Chandos Child is expected to have a love of learning; be a capable thinker who is confident to challenge; be able to express and discuss their beliefs and learning; and be respectful citizens of the world.
We can provide our children with the opportunities to achieve at their very best, with a clear understanding of their responsibilities as citizens of Birmingham, the United Kingdom and the wider world.
