At Knowsley Village Primary, we view ‘cultural capital’ as the characteristics, knowledge and skills that promote school mobility, both now and in the future. They help our children to develop knowledge, skills, and behaviours that are valued by society ad can contribute to their success in education and later in life. We ensure that all children are exposed to a wide range of experiences that will develop their cultural capital and give them an advantage in later life.
