Our Curriculum Model
Our curriculum is carefully sequenced:
Progression Lines – provide clear end points for student outcomes and what they will need to do in order to achieve this at each stage of the
curriculum.
Teachers’ planning – details the specific knowledge that pupils gain in each lesson taking into account their different starting points.
*Please note that we are in the process of updating our curriculum. Whilst this piece of extensive work is undertaken, some of the associated planning
documents are still emerging or remain in draft format.
The implemented curriculum tracker – provides detailed information on what has been taught at each stage of the curriculum for all subjects,
showing how knowledge and skills are built on over time.
Assessment - Our curriculum is our progression model and pupils are assessed against the knowledge and skills they are expected to gain each
term from their baseline assessment. More information can be found in our Assessment Policy.
Our Approach - In the classroom we use relational approaches and our understanding of each child as an individual to provide a personalised
learning experience that aims to meets their needs and encourage engagement through ‘hooks’ to inspire curiosity and investment in learning.
