In Year 3 at Clifton Green Primary School, our Cultural Capital offer builds independence, resilience and a deeper understanding of our local environment. As children move into Key Stage 2, we provide opportunities that develop responsibility, teamwork and curiosity about the wider world.
Through outdoor learning, local exploration and hands-on experiences, pupils strengthen both their knowledge and character.
Being located in the historic city of York provides rich opportunities for meaningful learning beyond the classroom.
