At Woodridge Primary, we endeavour to have a personalised curriculum that is broad, exciting, well sequenced and supplemented by Wider Woodridge activities, trips and visitors. This includes our Friday Wider Woodridge enrichment and the Widerness Café run by Year 6 children.
 
Our curriculum tries to make learning sticky, enabling all children to know and remember more, with adapted teaching for those children who need any additional support.
 
Within our curriculum there are two distinct Woodridge Golden Threads which reflect and enhance the cultural capital of our families and the local area:
 

• Blue Sky Thinking, Blue Sky Thinkers and Big Blue Questions - this is in response to our parent community who have expressed the desire to push particularly high aspirations with their children
• Diversity - to reflect the Wider World beyond Finchley in terms of different social and economic backgrounds, as well as different cultures, faiths and beliefs

 
We follow the National Curriculum across the subjects, along with the HEP PSHE and Wellbeing Framework for Primary Schools (2020) and Barnet Syllabus for Religious Education (2018). Our Year Group Curriculum Maps are below:
