Lugwardine Core Curricular Intent

Implementation

To achieve our intent we will:

• plan, teach, assess, deliver & monitor a curriculum that reflects the expectations of the our curriculum as an entitlement for all children regardless of age, gender & race;
• enable all pupils to work in an atmosphere that is exciting, stimulating and challenging in order for them to develop into independent learners;
• provide the children with a wide range of opportunities, resources & teaching styles to promote knowledge, skills and understanding; 
• actively promote the principle that all pupils should be encouraged to become independent learners.  They will be taught to collect and use information from a wide variety of sources and make sensible choices in all aspects of their learning;
• make our curriculum broad from the foundation stage to Year 6, so that children are given a wide view of the world about them;
• make it balanced, so that they are offered appropriate amounts of time depending on the importance of the subjects they are studying;
• make it coherent, so that the children can make connections between subjects, where they overlap and interconnect; 
• make it differentiated, so that children of different abilities are taught areas of the curriculum at their level, and are not prevented from making progress; give continuity and progression, so that children move smoothly from one stage to the next, at their pace and level of understanding;
• deliver a curriculum relevant to current life, so that a meaningful context for learning is experienced.

To obtain additional information on any aspect of the curriculum please contact either the class teacher or the subject leader for details.
