There is a clear intent for the curriculum. We expect all of our children to be given opportunities to develop skills which have value and will support them in wider society. Additionally they will gain knowledge which is both relevant and purposeful to their lives. Our curriculum ensures every child will feel motivated, enthused and successful.
Our curriculum is made of three tiers: the academic tier, the local tier and the hidden tier. The academic curriculum is the delivery of the skills and knowledge taught for every subject. The local curriculum is what is important to our context – the real world curriculum, which is teaching the real life skills for career pathways in the future. These skills link to the topics being taught. Finally, the hidden curriculum are all of the other things that happen to broaden children's experiences for example, trips, residential visits, guest speakers, active 30.
