Aims of the School Curriculum
The broad aims for the school curriculum are:
- Provide an extensive curriculum with an emphasis on developing basic skills
- Ensure Restorative Practice contributes effectively to building a self-regulating, self-motivated individual who consistently demonstrates respect, leadership and resilience when faced with adversity and challenge.
- Provide high quality teaching experiences, which excite and motivate children in the classroom and beyond
- Provide enrichment opportunities where learning and teaching can take place beyond the classroom and at times involve the wider community such as parents and carers
- Provide a curriculum that encourages pupils to extend their interests beyond school for example, club level sport
- Closely monitor and assess progression in attainment and application of skills
- Ensure our children know what they are learning and WHY and allow time to engage, reflect and review – including peer and self-evaluation
- Use a wealth of relevant resources – in classrooms, outdoors, in the local community and the wider area, including visits and visitors
- Encourage our pupils to develop their enterprise skills in order for them to grow into innovative, creative, strategic-thinking individuals who are equipped with skills that underpin employability.
- Ensure each and every one of our pupils understands and embraces modern British values.
