Our Curriculum
At Scout Road we have designed our curriculum with pupils’ learning at the centre.
Our curriculum intent reflects our school vision and embeds our school values. Scout Road Academy children have the skills, knowledge and attitudes to flourish and succeed as they move forward in life. They develop in a culture of respect, determination and positivity.
At Scout Road Academy leaders and teachers have designed a broad and balanced curriculum to provide quality learning experiences which will help our pupils to become numerate and literate and acquire the knowledge and skills that meet and often exceed the expectations of the national primary curriculum.
Our aim is also to equip our pupils with the skills and resilience which prepare them for the next stage of their education and the moral values to enable them to become good citizens now and in the future.
We recognise the importance and relevance of exploring our local heritage and promoting our pupils’ cultural capital. We want our children to know and understand their heritage both in a local context and as citizens of the world.
We have designed our curriculum to:
be accessible to and meet the needs of all our children
recognise and build upon prior learning taking into account research on how children learn
provide first-hand experiences, including educational visits and extra-curricular activities to enrich our pupils’ education
help children make connections in their learning and develop transferable skills
recognise the importance of reading and encourage the use of story and texts
enable children to become creative and critical thinkers, able to meet the challenges they face in school and in their daily lives
Last but not least we want our children to enjoy and engage in their learning, to become curious individuals with a love of learning that will help them achieve their full potential. Parents are invited to termly 'Open Classrooms', have 2 parents' evenings per year, an annual written report, opportunity to come into school and discuss our RSE curriculum once per year and we welcome parents comments and questions.
