Creative Curriculum

Our aim at Dymchurch Primary School is to ensure that children receive a broad and balanced curriculum.

Our curriculum encourages children to develop a real love of learning, with choice, challenge and independence.

We follow the National Curriculum which builds skills and knowledge progressively throughout each child’s time at primary school. We are passionate about enriching our curriculum with real life experiences to deliver a real depth of learning.
