With God’s love, we grow in body, heart and mind.

At the heart of our school is a deep commitment to nurturing the whole child —body, heart, and mind – a principle that shapes our Guiding Values of respect, compassion, and perseverance.

Train up a child in the way they should go and when they are old they will not depart from it. Prov XXII v.6
This verse underpins our commitment to lifelong learning, spiritual growth, and moral development.
Our curriculum is intentionally shaped by the school’s theologically rooted Christian vision: “With God’s Love, we grow in body, heart and mind.” At Frant Church of England Primary School, we believe that our curriculum is broad, balanced, relevant and inspirational, designed to develop a love of learning which will last a lifetime. Our committed and experienced team of teachers and support staff nurture, challenge and encourage our pupils, enabling them all, including the most vulnerable, to grow academically, personally and spiritually, preparing them for the next stage of their academic journey.
Body: The curriculum promotes physical development, wellbeing, and respect for oneself and others. PE, science, and PSHE are structured to help pupils understand how to live healthy, balanced lives. Opportunities for outdoor learning, active play, and engagement with nature reflect our belief that caring for the body is an expression of honouring God’s creation. Pupils learn to value their bodies as gifts from God and to use them responsibly and joyfully.
Heart: Our curriculum is designed to cultivate compassion, empathy, and moral responsibility. Through subjects such as RE, PSHE, English, and the humanities, pupils encounter diverse stories, perspectives, and ethical questions that help them understand what it means to love one another as God loves us. The Christian narrative of compassion shapes classroom culture, behaviour expectations, and the way pupils are encouraged to respond to local and global issues. Service, kindness, and community involvement are woven into learning experiences so that pupils develop as thoughtful, caring individuals prepared to contribute positively to society, learning to love our neighbour as Jesus teaches.
Mind: We believe that God walks alongside each child, guiding and inspiring their growth. This conviction shapes a curriculum that is ambitious, knowledge‑rich, and designed to foster curiosity, creativity, a love of learning and resilience. High expectations, carefully sequenced learning, and opportunities for challenge ensure that pupils develop confidence in their abilities and recognise their unique gifts. Across all subjects, pupils are encouraged to reflect, ask questions, and persevere when learning is difficult, understanding that growth is part of God’s plan for them.
