Curriculum Highlights

We follow the National Curriculum. We are committed to providing a broad and balanced education that offers rich opportunities for growth, creativity and challenge. We recognise that nationally some pupils in certain demographic groups can be at risk of underachievement, and we are determined that no child at Brackley C of E Junior School will be held back by barriers such as background, gender, special/additional needs, ethnicity or disability. Our vision is to provide learning that strives for academic excellence while nurturing every child to reach their highest potential, both academically and personally, and to ignite their inner spark so that they develop a lifelong love of learning. Our curriculum aims to prepare pupils to live life in all its fullness, to be ambitious for their futures, emotionally equipped and resilient in the face of challenges, and committed to making a positive contribution to the wider community.

SEND Provision

SEND provision is described in the SEND Curriculum Statement, with explicit inclusive strategies and adaptations (e.g., word banks, sentence scaffolds, visual supports), a range of supportive staff who work with families to remove barriers to learning and nurture wellbeing, and subject leaders who review curriculum to meet diverse needs.
