Curriculum

Epping Upland’s Curriculum Design

At Epping Upland C of E Primary School, we provide a broad, balanced and enjoyable curriculum. To broaden and enrich their education, the children enjoy a variety of experiences outside the school environment, including sporting tournaments, visits to places of natural beauty, museums and theatres.

At Epping Upland, we use a personalised learning approach that expects all children to reach or exceed national expectations, to fulfil their early promise and develop latent potential. The teacher’s priority is always to support and challenge children so that they can keep up with the pace of learning, make good rates of progress and be the best that they can be.

Religious Education (RE)

RE at Epping Upland is a core academic subject, held with the same strategic importance as English and Maths.

Our Syllabus: We follow the 2022 Essex Agreed Syllabus, enriched by the 'Understanding Christianity' resource.
The 'Big Questions': Our curriculum is built on enquiry. Children don't just learn facts; they grapple with "Big Questions" (e.g., 'Why do some people think God exists?'), allowing them to develop religious literacy and respect for all faiths and worldviews.
Trust Collaboration: As part of the EFSPT, our RE Lead collaborates with the Trust Church School Hub to ensure our teaching is innovative and of the highest standard.
