Curriculum & Learning

At Mulgrave Primary School, we recognise that the foundations laid in the early years are critical to a child’s lifelong learning journey. Early development shapes not only academic success but also emotional resilience, social confidence, and a love of discovery. That is why our curriculum is carefully designed to nurture curiosity, creativity, and independence from the very beginning, ensuring that every child has the best possible start.

We take a holistic approach to education, understanding that children thrive when their intellectual, physical, emotional, and social needs are met in harmony. Our teaching goes beyond the classroom, embedding values of respect, kindness, and perseverance into daily learning. By creating a safe, stimulating environment, we encourage children to explore, question, and grow—developing both the skills and the character needed to flourish in an ever-changing world.

Crucially, we believe that education is a shared journey between school and home. We actively work with families to support the early development of their children, building strong partnerships that reinforce learning and wellbeing. Through open communication, workshops, and collaborative activities, we empower parents and carers to be part of their child’s growth. Together, we ensure that every Mulgrave learner is not only prepared for the next stage of education, but for life: ready to learn, believe, and succeed.
