Principles
Our curriculum is founded on the principles that we want to provide all our young people with a route to academic and vocational success, through personalised programmes of study that will enable them to achieve their highest potential in education, training and work.
Our curriculum aims to:
- Improve outcomes in English and Maths by developing pupils’ CORE SKILLS, address gaps in their knowledge and build on what has been taught before.
- Identify pupils’ needs quickly and then initiate a PERSONALISED approach in order to meet those specific needs.
- Ensure that our pupils see the value of what they are learning through real life experiences which make it RELEVANT to their lives.
- Promote achievement for everyone and ensure all pupils are valued, safe, nurtured, healthy, active and INCLUDED.
- Provide the platform to challenge, ENGAGE and motivate our young people in their learning.
- Implement a rigorous approach to the teaching of READING which develops pupils’ confidence and enjoyment in reading.
- Develop a learning environment where teachers develop strong RELATIONSHIPS with their pupils and are able to have a positive effect on pupils’ self esteem and are allowed the time and space in the curriculum for character education.
- Meet the needs of our pupils with SEND and give them the knowledge and culture capital to succeed in life.
- Encourage pupils to reflect on their own learning, strengths and areas to develop and identify the NEXT STEPS on their learning journey.
