The Marine
Curriculum

Extended Curriculum

At Marine Academy Primary, raising the aspirations of all of our children is at the heart of everything that we do. As well as the day-to-day taught curriculum, we believe that by offering children with rich and creative learning experiences provides them with a wealth of opportunity and experiences that will help to shape them.  These experiences may be trips to local areas of interest such as Plymouth Hoe, visits from experts such as children’s authors or even trips further afield such as to London and Paris.  So far this year, children have visited Plymouth Theatre Royal, The Houses of Parliament, the National Marine Aquarium, Paignton Zoo, local beaches, local woods, the Tamar Bridge STEM centre as well as residential trips to Paris and Forest and Beach to name but a few.

As well as trips, we offer an extensive range of extra-curricular activities every night of the week. These clubs are open to all and offer children regular opportunities to try something new or take part in an activity they may not otherwise be able to do. Extra-curricular clubs are delivered by members of Marine Academy Primary, as well as by range of external providers such as Plymouth Albion and Discovery Martial Arts. Our broad extra-curricular offer changes on a termly basis and every child is guaranteed a club of their choice.

At Marine Academy Primary, we pride ourselves in offering children an extensive range of extra-curricular activities. Children in Reception, Years 1 and 2, Year 3 and 4 and Year 5 and 6 are offered clubs in the Autumn, Spring and Summer term. We ensure activities are purposeful, fun and engaging. All of them contribute and extend children’s learning in school, wellbeing and mental health and holistic development.
