Curriculum Principles
Our curriculum principles are very clear. We want to ensure that:
- There is clear student progress over the 7 year curriculum plan
- There is a focus on depth before breadth, with learning time maximised in all subjects
- There is targeted support and additional challenge to ensure all students make at least national rates of progress
- There is support for all Year 7 students as they begin their time at secondary school
Curriculum Structure
- The curriculum is planned in a coherent manner ensuring it meets legal requirements and embraces cross-curricular themes and cross-curricular skills, in particular, those of literacy and numeracy
- The development of students’ personal and social skills and their spiritual, moral and cultural development are addressed specifically through discrete lessons once every half term, retreat days for each year group, residential trips, Acts of Worship, CAIG as well as permeating the whole curriculum. Students in Year 7 and 8 have Personal Development lessons within their two -week timetable.
