Brooke Primary School: Intent, Implementation and Impact

INTENT

Our curriculum develops cultural capital and knowledge, skills and understanding for later life. 

It goes beyond the National curriculum with an enriching range of opportunities and experiences, to enable our children to be the best they can be. 

New skills and experiences, and the learning environment help to nurture resilience, curiosity and creativity. 

The curriculum is enhanced by our Values

IMPLEMENTATION

We ensure coverage and progression across all subject areas; developing depth of knowledge and understanding and opportunities for children to build on what they know and embed their knowledge into long term memory. 

In order to broaden the children’s experiences, visits, visitors and other opportunities are carefully planned to support and enhance learning. 

As part of planning our curriculum we ensure prior knowledge is re-visited and built upon to deepen understanding.

IMPACT

Our curriculum places our children at the centre and allows each child to develop their knowledge, skills and understanding across all subjects. 

We strive to ensure that our children’s attainment in all subjects is in line with or above age-related expectations. 

We intend that all our children will be fully prepared for their next stage of education; ready to contribute positively to society as a whole.
