Curriculum
Our curriculum at Palgrave has been developed to be broad, balanced and relevant; one that inspires children to learn and achieve ambitious targets. It supports the fundamental British values and teaches pupils tolerance and respect. We firmly believe that our curriculum provides an excellent foundation for our pupils to develop as individuals and fulfill their potential. Our vision and aims, along with our Framework for Independence, are at the core of everything we do and underpin our teaching and learning.
CURRICULUM INTENT
At Palgrave, we want our children to experience:
a curriculum that is progressive and built on prior knowledge
the practice of skills to become embedded, feeling secure before learning is moved on
the love for learning and the risk involved to ensure perseverence, resilience and confidence when tackling and extending their own learning independently
the opportunity to aim high and aspire to be the best they can possibly be, reaching their full potential
challenge in their learning opportunities on a daily basis
a curriculum that is focused on healthy minds and bodies ensuring the importance of wellbeing
a curriculum that develops the use of pupil voice to improve school performance and the accountablility of learners
spiritual, moral, social and cultural learning as a thread that runs through everything we do
Curriculum Statement
As a Church school, our vision is that children learn to live life in all its fullness. This fullness involves developing academically, physically, socially, spiritually, morally, culturally, and artistically. Our curriculum is the means by which we engender this development.
Our planned curriculum offer has our Framework For Independence at its core and delivers all areas of the National Curriculum including PSHE, Relationships Education and RE. Our taught curriculum is influenced by a repertoire of pedagogy, the adherence to our school’s vision, the leadership conversations, routines, rituals and provision and of course the learner’s dispositions. All this results in the curriculum experienced by the children.
