At Bishop Martin Church of England Primary School, we offer an academic curriculum that develops the INDIVIDUAL, NURTURES curiosity, demonstrates a progression of SKILLS, is filled with PURPOSEFUL first-hand experiences, develops INDEPENDENCE, is RESPONSIVE to the individual and EMBRACES children’s understanding of the world we live in. This is our INSPIRE Curriculum.

Alongside this, we want our children to develop the character, confidence and skills they need to thrive. We are therefore delighted to launch our refreshed Bishop Martin Inspirations programme for 2026–27. Inspirations is an extension of our INSPIRE Curriculum and gives children opportunities to explore, experience, create and learn both inside and outside of school.

Bishop Martin Inspirations are split into five areas:

1. Outdoor Challenges - encouraging children to embrace life outdoors
2. Our World - experience the world we live in
3. Creative Arts - express yourself in different ways
4. Life Skills - develop independence and skills for the wider world
5. Experiences – some simple experiences we want all children to have linked to wellbeing, happiness, fun and laughter.

These areas are broken down into 25 key experiences for the children to complete and achieve whilst at Bishop Martin Church of England Primary School.

Bishop Martin Inspirations act as an extension of our INSPIRE Curriculum to bring together children, families, and the community to celebrate life experiences and the development of skills whilst recognising the importance of developing pupils’ character.
