Learning
A Life-Long Love of Learning
Our curriculum vision stems from enabling every child to achieve their divine potential by inspiring them and promoting opportunities to delight in their learning as they grow into successful, compassionate young adults.
Everything we do at Lanercost CE Primary School stems from our children having a life-long love of learning. We are proud of our inclusive environment, which is firmly rooted in a shared Christian ethos and fosters the care and nurture of our school community. As a school, in partnership with parents and carers, we strive to build strong foundations for an excellent education.
Brave, Broad & Rich
Our curriculum is brave in its ambition, broad in its scope, and rich in experiences. We make the most of our beautiful location near Hadrian's Wall, Lanercost Priory, and the stunning Northumberland countryside.
Evidence-Based Teaching
Each subject leader has carefully designed their curriculum based on the latest educational research and best practice, ensuring our children receive the highest quality education in every subject.
We enable our children to achieve all of their divine potential by inspiring them through engaging and immersive learning based upon the National Curriculum (2014), developed from a love of reading and reflecting our school's unique circumstances. Our children become curious learners who are led by enquiry and inspired by a range of real-life experiences and cultural enrichment.
