Curriculum
We believe children learn best when they can use their imagination and apply their learning to a range of engaging contexts.
Since using a variety of topic titles to introduce the curriculum changes of 2014, we have been constantly refining our curriculum. We have developed a creative and thematic approach to learning that maps key skills to the Primary National Curriculum to ensure comprehensive coverage of national expectations.
Please take a look at our Curriculum overview for full details, and our Curriculum pages for subject-by-subject information.
Governors
We are fortunate to have such a committed group of governors who give their time so freely to support the school and to ensure we provide the best education possible for our children.
Our school community
PTA and staff working together
PTA
Our Parent Teacher Association (PTA) forms an important link between home and school. Their fundraising makes a real difference to every child's experience in school. All parents are welcome to join in and help shape the school community.
The story of our logo
The tree has been a symbol of Saltford Church of England School for many years. The original version, which can be seen carved into the school lectern, was the tree of the knowledge of good and evil from the Genesis Creation story. Learning about the difference between good and evil is, of course, an essential element of any child’s education.
Some years ago it was decided to redesign the Saltford tree with seven oak leaves. It is now a powerful symbol which reminds us of our Christian heritage and traditions and encourages us to live our lives according to principles shared by Christians and members of other faith communities.

Caring for our community
Six of the leaves represent our six Golden Rules, which are displayed in every classroom and which all children are expected to follow.
These rules are about respect for people and property and about striving to do our best at all times. Many of them are based on the Ten Commandments and the teachings of Jesus about how we should treat one another.
The seventh leaf represents our link with the church while the three acorns reflect the partnership between the school, parents and child as well as the Holy Trinity.
