The curriculum is designed to provide all students with an education that is:
- Broad
Providing experience in a wide range of subjects and a variety of settings, employing a range of teaching and learning styles. - Balanced
Devoting an appropriate amount of time to each subject, but allowing students a degree of control over their own education. - Relevant
Building upon the experiences of each individual and enabling then to make sense of the world around them so that they are able to develop confidence and independence. - Personalized
Ensuring each student is provided with the experiences, challenges and support necessary to reach their potential and celebrate their achievements.
We aim to ensure that:
- consistently high quality teaching facilitates active, independent and lifelong learning;
- learners will be taught how to learn;
- all activities are structured to promote excellent progress and positive outcomes for all learners;
- all forms of achievement are celebrated and underachievement is challenged;
Progression
We aim to ensure:
- learners are set a target for progression in all subject areas based on prior learning;
- learners’ achievements are measured in relation to their ability and their targets;
- learners, parents and guardians are informed of their wards progress at every week interval
- learners are engaged in discussions about their progress throughout the academic year;
- where a students’ progression is not in line with expectations the teacher will develop an action plan to support improved progression;
- Where progression exceeds expectations a more challenging target and set of skill development will be put in place.
