At Littleton Green, our vision is to deliver a curriculum that is academic and beyond and is centred around ‘Cultural Capital’.

‘Cultural Capital is the essential knowledge that children need to be educated citizens and prepared for life in modern Britain.’ 

Therefore, we have built our enrichment curriculum around the belief that every child should have diverse experiences and enrichment opportunities. Our goal is for all pupils to have a wide range of experiences that enable them to understand the world around them from a viewpoint of experience and show gratitude, empathy and respect to all.

Our enrichment curriculum is underpinned by the principles of British values and SMSC (Spiritual, Moral, Social and Culture).  It is ambitious and designed to give pupils, particularly the most disadvantaged, the knowledge and cultural capital they need to succeed in life and address social disadvantage. Through our enrichment curriculum, we intend our pupils to become responsible and respectful citizens who become actively involved in public life as adults.

 

Littleton Green Enrichment Curriculum Intent is for pupils:

  • To develop lively, enquiring minds together with a positive desire to learn, question, discuss and apply themselves intelligently to tasks.
  • To experience the joy and satisfaction of creativity.
  • To acquire knowledge and skills relevant, in a changing world, to their adult lives at work and at leisure.
  • To develop a sense of self-respect and individual worth, a capacity to live as independent, self-motivated adults and the ability to live and work in co-operation with others.
  • To develop positive qualities of empathy and imagination and an appreciation of human achievement and endeavour.

 

Alongside our Enrichment within out curriculum, we also offer two enrichment subjects:

MFL and Forest School.

See below for further information on the curriculum overviews for these two Enrichment Subjects.

Cultural Capital in Our Curriculum

At the heart of our curriculum lies a strong commitment to developing cultural capital for every learner.

We believe that education should be rich in memorable experiences and opportunities that broaden horizons and inspire ambition. That’s why each unit across our curriculum is carefully designed to offer enriching experiences that pupils may not otherwise encounter—ensuring that learning is not only deep but also diverse and meaningful.

Each subject leader has thoughtfully woven opportunities to explore significant individuals—past and present—into their curriculum plans. These inspirational figures serve to ignite curiosity, foster ambition, and help students see the possibilities for their own futures.

Take a look at the screenshot below to see how this is clearly mapped out in each curriculum plan.

You’ll find a dedicated section highlighting the cultural capital opportunities and the influential people that shape each subject’s journey.

Miss. C. Whittaker

MFL – French Lead

At Littleton Green our MFL aims are to ensure that all pupils:
  • understand and respond to spoken and written language from a variety of authentic sources
  • speak with increasing confidence, fluency and spontaneity, finding ways of communicating what they want to say, including through discussion and asking questions, and continually improving the accuracy of their pronunciation and intonation
  • can write at varying lengths, for different purposes and audiences, using the variety of grammatical structures that they have learnt
  • discover and develop an appreciation of a range of writing in the language studied.
The children will engage in a variety of activities during their lessons, immersing themselves in the language through stories, songs, and games. As they practice talking with one another, they will build confidence and fluency. Our hope is that they will not only learn the language but also develop a genuine love for it.
