Curriculum
Our curriculum 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, through our Framework for Independence, are at the core of everything we do and underpin our teaching and learning.
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 influence decisions and actions that affects them, the wider community and the world around them.
spiritual, moral, social and cultural learning as a thread that runs through everything we do
As a result we developed our Framework for Independence which is at the core of our curriculum in order to develop the children's capacity to lead fulfilling lives as valued members of society and effective citizens of Palgrave and the wider world.
