INTENT We offer an inclusive, knowledge engaged curriculum that develops and challenges children’s understanding of the world they live in. We have developed a fully comprehensive curriculum framework that meets the requirements of the National Curriculum as well as additional curriculum enhancements which ensure the personal and social development of pupils through a wide range of additional experiences and opportunities. IMPLEMENTATION Our school values are intertwined and well embedded within our curriculum. We challenge children to think and enquire - making mistakes and asking questions is how we learn! We prepare children for a future in the modern and quickly changing world. At Red Oaks we nurture individual talents and allow children to experience a deep and rich journey through education, one that starts in their local area and local community and is expanded to an understanding of global concepts. Education at our school is rooted in consistent, quality delivery and equality of opportunities for all children in all subjects and wider aspects of school life. Children follow clear pathways of progression in knowledge, skills and vocabulary and use a rich variety of resources and learning styles to secure understanding. IMPACT We continuously monitor, review and take action to further develop, change and evolve the delivery, scope and effectiveness of our curriculum. The Curriculum at RED OAKS is: Broad - it introduces children to a wide range of knowledge, skills and experiences. Balanced – each subject is allocated sufficient time (dependent on age and ability). Relevant - subjects are taught in a way that related to children’s lives and experiences now and in the future. Memorable - the curriculum provides memorable and fun experiences and rich opportunities for high quality learning and wider personal development and well-being. Inclusive and engaging - the curriculum is taught in a way that supports the need of the child. Opportunities will be accessible to all learners.Teaching creates a 'buzz' and a positive attitude to learning is evident.
