Curriculum Drivers

Careful analysis and discussion about our community as well as our pupils’ backgrounds, life experiences and faith has helped us to design a curriculum with four key drivers underpinning every subject area. 

Communication

 Speaking and listening lies at the heart of our curriculum. 

Pupils are explicitly taught the

vocabulary and grammatical structures needed to 

communicate well as we believe that all  pupils should be able to express themselves clearly for a range of purposes.

Aspiration

Staff have  high expectations for learning for all pupils and encourage them to challenge themselves by

going into the  ‘learning pit.’

Staff employ a range of

learning powered

approaches to develop their pupil’s independence,

initiative, determination, and love of learning.

Pupils are taught that their voice is important and that they can  make a difference  to their local, national and global communities.

Creativity

A topic based approach

provides cohesion and

context  whilst ensuring that key knowledge, vocabulary and skills are taught.

Learning is presented  and recorded in a number of ways and opportunities for art and design are maximised.

Knowledge of the World

Pupils work towards acquiring a depth of learning and knowledge, alongside an awareness of the wider world and their place in it.

Our curriculum encourages pupils to develop the self-belief

to embrace their future lives with confidence as God intended them to.

We offer a breadth of experiences beyond the classroom and

provide a wide range of

opportunities to stretch pupils’ talents and interests.
