Curriculum Highlights

Text-based learning approach that supports discussion, creativity and deeper thinking. A focus on knowledge progression, progression of skills, and progression of oracy. Progression model with three cognitive domains: Basic, Advancing, Deep. In-unit progress and proof-of-progress tasks to assess independent application of learning. Progress over time through independent work, responses, talk and application across the term. Monitoring and Review activities (learning walks, pupil voice, book looks, data analysis, planning scrutiny) to evaluate curriculum impact. The Barnfield Way emphasizes positive relationships, clear explanations and modelling, opportunities for talk and collaboration, high-quality questioning, responsive teaching, purposeful practice, meaningful challenge and a calm, inclusive learning environment.
