Creative Curriculum

The Creative Curriculum at Steeton Primary School encompasses all core and foundation subjects and enables us to provide a high standard of teaching and learning.

We aim to foster a life-long love of learning, through adopting a highly practical, skills based cross-curricular approach. Our Creative Curriculum aims to deliver an engaging, exciting and relevant twenty-first century education that will equip our children with the skills required to be independent and responsible citizens.
