Love thy neighbour in a flourishing school community. A community with Jesus’ protective love at heart, embracing inclusivity and having the highest expectations for all, both academically and behaviourally. A community that nurtures individuals as a whole, their mind, body and spirit. A loving, knowledgeable community building a rich, challenging curriculum for all.

Barwell Church of England Academy is a Church of England Academy; its vision emphasizes Jesus’ protective love at heart and inclusivity as part of its Christian ethos.

Curriculum Highlights

Vocabulary and books need to be at the heart of learning. Reading and vocabulary – our curriculum will be built around reading and vocabulary to address the gap in word knowledge and life experiences. It will be a 3D curriculum – vertical links will be deliberately constructed within a subject so they are revisited across Key Stage 2. Horizontal links between subjects will be deliberately planned so that children experience the same theme in different areas of the curriculum. Diagonal links will allow for children to see how concepts are joined across both year groups and subjects. Retrieval practice – there will be ample opportunities for children to practise retrieving knowledge in a low stakes environment. A thematic approach – our learning will be presented in a learning journey where subjects are grouped together where this works best for learning. Families involved throughout – parents will be involved in the Learning Adventure throughout. Reduces teacher workload – our curriculum should aid teachers in focusing on things that have a positive impact on children. Promotes the Equality Act (2010) – our curriculum will give children the chance to explore diversity through picture books each half term.
