Learners come to King’s Meadow from a wide catchment, a variety of backgrounds and with a range of experience and knowledge from outside of school. Through our curriculum we will equip them to further develop and deepen this knowledge and will ensure that all children have equal access to the breadth and depth of our offer regardless of need or disadvantage.
At King’s Meadow our curriculum will:
- Provide opportunities for children to develop and acquire the skills and knowledge they need to be confident and independent learners
- Ensure that they are ready to move on and meet the challenges of high school
- Plant the seeds of knowledge and experience to help them develop as lifelong learners, build cultural capital and make positive, sustained contributions to society
All members of our school community have high expectations and ambitions for learning and will work together to ensure maximum impact on the development and application of knowledge and skills.
The core of our curriculum offer are our learning skills. These are:
- Resilience
- Communication
- Teamwork
- Problem Solving
- Reflection
- Critical and Creative Thinking.
They are taught through PSHCE, assemblies and woven through topics as appropriate.
A strength of our curriculum is the provision of meaningful real-life experiences through field trips, visitors or hands on experiences within each theme or topic to ensure that children are fully engaged, eager to learn and to broaden their experiences and horizons. We will also offer a broad and varied range of extracurricular opportunities.
