Our Curriculum Implementation

Our curriculum has been carefully built and the learning opportunities and assessment milestones for each year group crafted to ensure progression and repetition in terms of embedding key learning, knowledge and skills.

At Servite, six core values underpin everything that we do, everything that we teach and everything that we aspire for our pupils to value now and when they leave us: Ambition, Possibilities, Faith, Love, Respect and Community. Our bespoke curriculum provides regular opportunities to demonstrate and promote our values.

Learning across the curriculum has been carefully mapped out to ensure coverage of the National Curriculum Programmes of Study as well as considering the particular interests and needs of our children and ensuring that key concepts are revisited through a progressive curricular design.

Subject specific characteristics highlight what we expect the children to demonstrate in each discrete subject area. They underpin all work in these subjects, developing and becoming more embedded as children learn and grow. Knowledge organisers outline the knowledge that should be learned in each unit of work. Retrieval practice activities are embedded in all lessons and encouraged at home to support children's learning by ensuring knowledge reaches children's long-term memory. "Learning is a change in long-term memory." (Krishner, Sweller and Clarke).

At Servite we strongly believe in a knowledge-engaged curriculum which underpins and enables the application of skills through cross-curricular teaching, making learning meaningful and relevant to children.
