The curriculum is deliberately ambitious and designed to be accessible to all through carefully constructed scaffolding. The four pillars are: A Curriculum for ALL (No one left behind); Ambitious (with a focus on Teaching to the Top); Knowledge-rich (sequence clearly articulated); Emphasis on long term memory and recall. The curriculum is knowledge-rich with topics that are carefully selected to be taught across Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4, supported by knowledge organisers to aid recall and connections. Assessment opportunities are planned to be purposeful and support learning, with information used to evaluate the curriculum's effectiveness. The curriculum provides equal breadth of study to all students, with scaffolding and high expectations to ensure inclusion.
