Our Learning

Gilbert Scott Primary School follows the national curriculum for years 1 to 6 and the Early Years Curriculum for both nursery and reception. We also use Croydon’s RE syllabus to guide our teaching of religious education. In years 3 to 6 the pupils are taught Spanish as a foreign language.

An important part of the learning is personal, social, health, emotional and economic education (PSHEE). We are committed to the development of children’s social, emotional skills, children’s self-esteem, their health and well-being. We also believe in developing the children’s responsibilities towards themselves, others in school, the local and global community.
