Curriculum Design

Curriculum Design

Leaders share a clear vision for our curriculum design, based on the following principles:

Safeguarding: Integrated throughout the curriculum to teach children how to keep themselves and others safe.

Global Citizenship: Empowers children to become active future leaders and upstanders who drive positive change.

Evidence-Led Pedagogy: Underpinned by research-focused teaching, explicit vocabulary instruction, and structured retrieval practice.

Cross-Curricular Connections: Designed to help children make meaningful links across subjects, ensuring learning is purposeful.

Inclusion & Breadth: Offers a broad, balanced curriculum accessible to all children.

National Curriculum Alignment: Built directly upon the expectations of the National Curriculum.

Coherent Sequencing: Carefully structured and sequenced so children make strong progress and find their individual strengths.

Automaticity: Key knowledge is identified for every year group and subject to support fluent recall.

Cultural Capital: Promotes social mobility through vocabulary acquisition, reading, and rich learning experiences.

Secondary Readiness: Prepares children socially, emotionally, and academically for the transition to secondary school.

Core Values: Takes every opportunity to promote peace, friendship, service, kindness, thankfulness, forgiveness, resilience, courage, and respect.
