Curriculum
Please see the Summer 1 Curriculum document below for details about the learning this half term.
We believe that all young people at The Promise School have the right to access an ambitious and challenging curriculum which connects them to their own context and opens them to the wonders and complexities of the wider world.
We follow the National Curriculum and its programmes of study from Key Stages 1-4. This commitment will be consistent with the EHC plan for each pupil and, for some pupils, the curriculum will be highly personalised dependent upon individual EHC outcomes.
We will consider individual pupils' interests, listen to pupil voice and promote pupils' aspirations through sessions with staff focusing upon personal and social development, in line with our cooperative values of self-help, self-responsibility, democracy, equality, equity and solidarity.
The intent of the curriculum at The Promise School is that children are enabled to be active learners, moving towards independence, autonomy, control and choice.
Curriculum Guiding Principles
Progression |
the curriculum takes children on a structured journey through the subject which enables them to progress to the next stage in their lives. |
Rigour |
the curriculum is designed and taught in a way which is faithful to the discipline. |
Challenge |
the curriculum enables learners to be stretched and to access ambitious, meaningful work. |
Builds knowledge and cultural capital |
the curriculum focuses on building powerful knowledge and skills. It reflects the context learners are growing up in and connects them to a world beyond their current experience. |
Personalisation |
the curriculum gives learners the opportunity to develop their own interests and discover new passions. |
This will be achieved based on the understanding that:
Children’s learning is understood developmentally.
The classroom offers a safe base.
Nurture is important for the development of self-esteem.
Language is understood as a vital means of communication.
All behaviour is communication.
Transitions are significant in the lives of children
We believe that for any of our children to thrive and progress in a positive and vibrant manner they must feel safe, secure and ready to learn.
