Junior School Thematic Curriculum

Where Curiosity Thrives and Knowledge Connects

At The Portsmouth Grammar Junior School, our Thematic Curriculum empowers pupils to develop flexible, lifelong skills through a rich blend of academic and co-curricular experiences. Our curriculum, combined with a strong pastoral system and dynamic house structure, provides a framework for exploring a wide range of interconnected disciplines.

Through consistently excellent teaching, we aim for our pupils to:

• Sharpen critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
• Grow as confident communicators and reflective thinkers.
• Embrace challenges with persistence and resilience.
• Approach learning actively, both independently and collaboratively.
• Take risks and view failure as a steppingstone to success.
• Exercise sound judgement and make informed decisions.
• Foster empathy and a strong understanding of others’ needs.
• Achieve excellence both academically and personally.
