Marine Academy Primary
Organisation Bio
At Marine Academy Primary, our mission is to provide an outstanding education that ensures all pupils reach their greatest potential and live by life’s highest values.
We have developed our own Marine Curriculum, which is comprehensive, where children learn through exploration, has a clear process of learning with specific learning goals for every National Curriculum subject, for personal learning and for international mindedness. The Marine Curriculum sets out clear progression and application of skills across all areas. We aim to ensure pupils are independently minded and confident citizens of the future.
Our curriculum drives progress through establishing a rigorous knowledge base and a life-long love of learning. We have considered the knowledge, skills and attitudes that are required to achieve academic excellence at secondary school and beyond. Subject leaders and teachers then plan backwards from this point. This ensures that pupils in each year group receive a rigorous, coherent and intelligently sequenced curriculum, which builds on what has come before. The curriculum at Marine Academy Primary is grounded in the strongest available evidence about how pupils learn and retain knowledge in the long term – focusing in particular on research from cognitive science.
About our climate journey
We have our Green Flag Eco School Award and maintain an ongoing commitment to looking after our environment through taking care of and acknowledging our biodiversity, energy, global citizenship, healthy living, litter, marine, school grounds, transport, waste and water. We have regular assemblies and days dedicated to climate change and try to put a positive slant onto a depressing subject. We teach our children that they can do something about the problems, indeed they are the solution!
