Curriculum

 We aim to educate through our Christian Vision, through a rich and inclusive curriculum that is designed to provide knowledge and wisdom, inspiration and hope, a sense of community and dignity.   Our children are enthusiastic and engaged learners and we are dedicated to inspiring the future generation for all walks of life.  The children at Billesdon C of E School are supported to realise their potential by becoming resilient and confident learners who will make a positive contribution to society in their chosen field.

The curriculum incorporates the statutory requirements of the National Curriculum 2014 and a range of other experiences which meet the learning and developmental needs of the children of our school.
