At Caldecote Primary School, we believe every child deserves opportunities to broaden their horizons, develop their talents and experience the world beyond the classroom. Our rich cultural offer enhances learning through educational visits, visitors, performances, leadership opportunities, community projects and a wide range of enrichment activities.

What is Cultural Capital?

Cultural capital is the knowledge, skills, experiences and understanding that help children succeed in education and life. It includes the language they use, the books they read, the places they visit, the people they meet and their understanding of different cultures and communities.

Our Approach

We recognise that children come to school with different experiences and opportunities. Through our curriculum and enrichment offer, we aim to:

• Build on pupils’ prior knowledge and experiences.
• Broaden horizons through new and inspiring opportunities.
• Celebrate diversity and promote inclusion and belonging.
• Develop language, vocabulary and communication skills.
• Prepare pupils to thrive in modern Britain and the wider world.

Our cultural offer supports children to become successful learners, confident individuals, responsible citizens and effective contributors. By providing meaningful experiences that reflect the diversity of our school community and the wider world, we help every child develop the knowledge, confidence and aspirations needed for future success.
