Whole School Curriculum
The document below is a working document and is constantly reviewed and updated to reflect the needs of our school, our children and our community. Just click on the link to open the Whole School Curriculum document.
The aim of our whole curriculum document is to help ensure that there is continuity and progression across all year groups from term to term and from one year to the next, so building on the skills and knowledge previously gained. This is our Intent. The document goes on to explain how this is implemented and what the expected impact will be.
Curriculum Intent
School Essentials – These are our four key drivers that guide and shape our curriculum to meet the needs of our children and our community.
Creativity - Our curriculum is delivered with imagination, taking in the context of the school and our community, to help engage our children. It has measurable educational value whilst promoting a student's social, emotional and intellectual development.
Resilience - A resilient child is a child who is really optimistic and hopeful. We will give children opportunities to tackle difficult problems, some of which they might not resolve. Through this process they will learn to view problems as things to solve, rather than be overwhelmed by. They will learn to deal effectively with mistakes or things they get wrong. They will learn to acknowledge that sometimes they cannot do things – yet.
Independence - We will develop every child’s academic, personal and social skills, to investigate, explore, to ponder and solve problems for themselves, and so build their independence.
Vocabulary – Our curriculum is filled with opportunities to expose our children to high-level, ambitious vocabulary from a range of sources relevant to our school, our community and the wider world.
