Our Curriculum
Our school curriculum is an outline of what we teach children throughout the school year. Our curriculum is reviewed at least annually and good practice and research is often shared across TMPF Trust’s family of schools to continually enhance what we offer.
Further Information
At Manifold Endowed C.E. Primary School, we have published an overview of our curriculum. If you would like further details, please contact the school office.
Right to withdraw
At Manifold C.E. Primary School, we aim to provide an inclusive and broad Religious Education (R.E.) curriculum which respects all backgrounds and provides an understanding of elements of different faiths across the world. However, we recognise the legal right of parents to withdraw their children from all, or part, of Religious Education and Collective Worship. If you wish to exercise this right, please speak to the Executive Principal/ Executive School Leader to discuss your request. Alternative supervision will be provided if you wish to withdraw your child from this learning.
Parents also have the right to request that their child be withdrawn from some or all of sex education delivered as part of statutory Relationships and Sex Education (RSE). Parents may not withdraw children from other elements of relationships and health education (everyone has relationships with others), nor can children be removed from topics taught within the Science curriculum which includes learning about puberty or sexual reproduction. Should a parent request for their child to be withdrawn from sex education, a member of the school team may wish to meet to understand the request and to clarify the nature and purpose of the curriculum and to highlight how it will remain likely that their child may hear their peers’ version of what was said, which may be inaccurate. School may document this process. Relationships education will focus on how to form and sustain positive relationships but will also help children identify risks and harms. Relationships education may therefore include topics related to preventing sexual abuse, for example, or avoiding sharing inappropriate material online. Alternative supervision will be provided if you wish to withdraw your child from this learning.
