Our Curriculum
Our curriculum aims to give every pupil an extraordinary education. An extraordinary education will enable our pupils to:
- Understand the importance of sustainability.
- Work well with others in their communities.
- Act fairly and equally.
- Think creatively, solving problems by exploring ideas.
To achieve this, the curriculum focuses on teaching foundational knowledge. Pupils build on this knowledge through repeated learning and new experiences, helping them understand and connect what they learn. Over time, they form a "tapestry" of knowledge, which becomes stronger and more meaningful.
The curriculum also encourages pupils to take pride in their work and appreciate others' achievements. By connecting what they learn to real-life situations, they are inspired to become the positive change they want to see in the world.
Each subject has its core knowledge, which is built step-by-step, like bricks. The "mortar" that holds these bricks together includes big ideas and key concepts that pupils revisit throughout their studies. Lessons are designed to help pupils answer important questions, giving their learning purpose. As they deepen their knowledge, pupils are prepared to become thoughtful global citizens in a rapidly changing world.
Our curriculum wheel aims to visually express the knowledge and characteristics pupils will develop to become global citizens in an ever-changing world.
