Medlar with Wesham C of E School is a Cultural Capital!

Every child and family who joins our school family will have their own knowledge and experiences that will link to their culture and wider family. This might include: languages, beliefs, traditions, cultural and family heritage, interests, travel and work. Research shows that when children and families’ cultures are valued, both the child’s experience of learning and progress can benefit.

We have devised a bespoke curriculum for our children, which exposes them to skills and knowledge in our local context and then they can transfer this knowledge to more abstract areas.

All children have access to a variety of visitor and experiences, that enhance cultural capital. 

Our main vision for our children is for them to become life-long learners and global citizens that aspire to achieve great accomplishments in their life by having a desire and belief in their ability. Gradually widening children’s experiences as they progress through school is an important step in providing rich and engaging learning across the curriculum.
