Curriculum Intent

‘We encourage and inspire children to aim high and challenge themselves in everything they do. ‘

Rationale

At St. Clements, our wider curriculum is underpinned by our mission statement, ‘to encourage and inspire children to aim high and challenge themselves in everything they do’. As a result our wider curriculum:

is inspiring for our learners
is ambitious in its vision for what our pupils will achieve
provides cultural experiences to address local deprivation
is coherently planned and sequenced to promote an accumulation of significant knowledge
allows a flexible approach to adapt to the needs of all learners

At St. Clements, we recognise the power of the wider curriculum to enhance the learning across all subjects, and engage all types of learners; we truly teach a broad and balanced curriculum. Our curriculum is knowledge engaged, giving knowledge, skills and understanding equal weight. Every child at St. Clements is celebrated for what they can do, and encouraged to fulfil their potential. We prioritise the wider curriculum in our timetables to ensure an accumulation of significant knowledge and understanding, enabling every child to express their talents and interests. Teachers have a good subject knowledge and plan with the curriculum aims in mind, ensuring that work is both ambitious and inspiring.

Planning

Our long-term curriculum overview maps the topic and curriculum content across each year and term (agreed with teachers before the commencement of the academic year). At the start of each academic year, teachers plan the skills they will address in each term with the Wider Curriculum lead, using medium term plans. This gives teachers the tools to plan effectively each term and ensure sufficient coverage and depth in the wider curriculum. Teachers are given the flexibility to adapt curriculum content, providing it meets the curriculum intent for our pupils. The curriculum takes a topic based approach, with a new topic taught each term to deliver the aims of the national curriculum.
