Badsey First SchoolCurriculum
Curriculum Vision
Our aim is for every child to leave the school feeling proud and with a sense of confidence about their next steps. Proud to have achieved something special with their unique talents and confident to develop those talents further in the next chapter of their education.
Curriculum Drivers
Our curriculum is led by our curriculum drivers –
Diversity and Equality
We want our curriculum to represent the rich breadth of humanity’s creativity and achievements. Throughout our curriculum we celebrate equality and diversity and the significant contributions of a wide range of people from a wide range of backgrounds. Our curriculum aims to prepare children to thrive in a culturally and ethnically diverse modern Britain and develop a respect and appreciation of others.
Vocabulary
We recognise that a knowledge-rich curriculum is also a language-rich curriculum. Therefore, we recognise that developing children’s oracy and deepening their vocabulary are vital aspects of securing understanding.
Our approach to curriculum –
Our approach to curriculum development and delivery is informed by current pedagogy. Our curriculum leaders engage with educational research and best practice in order to support strong outcomes for children. Core and foundation subjects are taught discretely in our school so that children develop a strong understanding of each subject’s specific knowledge and skills.
Our curriculum is:
Sequential – concepts are sequenced to ensure they are revisited regularly within and across year groups and key stages. The curriculum reinforces concepts over time.
Developmental – it carefully considers children’s age and stage and is designed to increase in cognitive complexity as children develop. As children move through our schools they revisit subjects and concepts in greater depth and complexity.
Interconnected – it makes explicit links between curriculum subjects when these links enhance children’s understanding in order to deepen their knowledge.
