At Bentley High Street Primary School’s foundation stage, the curriculum is designed to recognise children’s prior learning whether it be from a previous setting or their family, and provide a range of authentic learning experiences whilst allowing children to develop the foundations to become life-long learners.

Therefore, our curriculum endeavours to personalise provision in order to meet the needs of all pupils. We constantly ensure children are provided authentic experiences to build cultural capital, develop early language skills and nurture the development of the whole child.
