Boundary Primary School is a two-form entry primary school with a Nursery. We are situated in Grange Park, Blackpool. We have 432 pupils on roll.
At Boundary School, our mission is to ensure all children are provided with the opportunities to succeed to the best of their ability – to become happy, confident, caring, trustworthy and community-minded people with their own positive vision for the future.
We care about your child/children beyond their academic abilities within the classroom and value each child as an individual whilst appreciating the ups and downs of life they each face. The emotional health and well-being of your child is of utmost importance to us, as we want all children that come to our school to be happy and content and to achieve their full potential in life. We believe in the importance of lifelong learning and the contribution made by each individual to our community of learners.
Our curriculum is centred around the aims and values of our school and has been designed to respond to the particular needs of our community - taking into account the knowledge and skills to be taught, as well as the levels of ability of the children, our teachers create exciting, engaging and motivating learning journeys.
Our curriculum goals are:
- To give pupils appropriate experiences to develop as confident, resilient, responsible citizens
- To provide a rich ‘cultural capital’
- To provide a coherent, structured, academic curriculum that leads to sustained mastery for all and a
- greater depth of understanding for those who are capable.
By ensuring that our curriculum and all subsequent learning is based on evidence from cognitive science, we know that:
- Learning is most effective with spaced repetition.
- Retrieval of previously learned content is frequent and regular, which increases both storage and
- Retrieval strength.
