Curriculum Design

Curriculum Design

Leaders have a shared understanding that the curriculum should be designed with the following vision in mind:

1. Safeguarding is incorporated within our curriculum to help children keep themselves and others safe. 
2. Global Citizenship will help them become active future leaders that can be upstanders and change the world for the good. 
3. Our curriculum has structures which are evidence led, such as regular retrieval. It is underpinned by explicit vocabulary instruction and research-focused pedagogy. 
4. The curriculum is designed using a cross-curricular approach, as we know this enables our children to make connections across their learning, making it more purposeful and meaningful.
5. A broad curriculum offer, accessible to all children.
6. Curriculum design is based upon the National Curriculum
7. Coherent Curriculum design must be clear, carefully considered, connected and sequenced so that children make progress and are secondary ready. All children find their strengths. 
8. Automacity - key knowledge is identified in each year group and subject 
9. Cultural capital - social mobility is enabled through language acquisition, vocabulary size, reading and a broad curriculum offer. 
10. All of the above ensures that our children are secondary school ready.
11. Take every opportunity to promote our school values of peace, friendship, service, kindness, thankfulness, forgiveness, resilience, courage and respect.
