At Owston Park Primary Academy, our intent is to provide a knowledge-rich curriculum that increases the depth and breadth of what pupils know, enabling them to develop cultural capital and a lifelong love of learning. We want our children to leave us not only with strong academic foundations, but also with dignity, happiness, emotional literacy and a deep connection to their community.
Our curriculum is built around our core values of kindness, curiosity, aspiration, integrity and community. We nurture kindness in the way pupils learn and support one another; we promote curiosity through exciting opportunities to question, explore and make connections; we foster aspiration by setting high expectations and opening doors to new possibilities; we model integrity by encouraging pupils to do what is right and to value honesty; and we strengthen community by celebrating our locality and ensuring every child feels a sense of belonging and responsibility.
We believe education is a powerful tool for addressing social injustice. By giving pupils access to the best that has been thought, said and done, and showing how this connects to their own lives in North Doncaster, we empower them with the knowledge and confidence to thrive as educated citizens.
Our aim is for every child to be confident, enthusiastic and curious — equipped with the knowledge, vocabulary and skills they need to make sense of the world and to lead purposeful, fulfilling lives.
