Cultural Capital

The provision of life experiences for our children is very important at Nantwich Primary Academy. Through various opportunities we enhance the delivery of our curriculum and the lives of our children by inspiring them and building their curiosity to ultimately have a positive affect on their outlook on life.

However, to specifically impact upon the life chances of our pupils, we aim to reduce the social inequalities in our society by developing the knowledge, tastes and attitudes of our children. We aim to ensure that they develop high cultural capital that will be valued by further education and future employers.

In maths lessons at Nantwich Primary, we provide our children with valuable subject-specific knowledge and mathematical vocabulary. We strive to nurture and encourage enjoyment and creativity in the maths classroom to enable our learners to apply their skills to solve problems.

We teach them how maths has provided solutions to some of history’s most intriguing problems. We shine light on how mathematical skills and knowledge are essential to everyday life, critical to science, technology and engineering and necessary for most forms of employment. We empower our pupils to raise their aspirations and through the accumulation of skills and knowledge, prepare them for an exciting future.
