Curriculum

Intent

At Lyndhurst we believe that our children are the future of ‘whatever they decide to be.’ Our children should be prepared to make informed decisions about their life choice – for now and the future, into adulthood.

Our curriculum underpins our values and vision – Shaping the Future, Making Memories, Ready for Life and enables our children access to the cultural capital.

It includes knowledge and vocabulary rich learning linked to the National Curriculum and is designed to develop the wider holistic child; ensuring they are equipped through PSHE, SMSC, RE and ‘time to talk’ assemblies to safeguard and respect themselves, whilst respecting, celebrating and accepting differences, similarities, culture and diversity. We believe strongly in the promotion of the British Values; however, we believe that we should accept rather than tolerate. Our curriculum is planned and sequenced to develop deep lasting knowledge, building on prior knowledge, which our children can use today, tomorrow and for the rest of their lives.

We intend to equip our children to be ready for life, through the promotion of digital literacy, Building Learning Powers and in EYFS the Characteristics of Effective Learning.

Implementation

The curriculum is designed so that teaching models successful learning in knowledge, whilst creating metacognitive classroom cultures through the development and embedding of the Characteristics of Effective Learning and identified Building Learning Powers.

The consistent use of high quality, contextually based inspiring texts  ensures the curriculum is mapped and timetabled appropriately to enable the acquisitions of key knowledge, building on prior learning and the transference of knowledge to long term memory; supported by an environment enabled to support learning through the strategic use of working walls.

The implementation of the curriculum promotes recognition of talents, which are developed through opportunities including Vex Robotics, sports clubs, School Captains and School Council.

Impact

 At Lyndhurst we measure the impact of our curriculum in a range of ways including

  • the analysis of data and school performance, using statutory assessment and termly tests and teacher assessment- and comparing this with both national and local data.
  • the use of a range of assessment and analysis strategies including moderation,  pupil progress meetings etc
  • the implementation of subject monitoring (Development Days)
  • the use of external reviews including Quality of Education Review, Peer Review etc
  • the use of Learning Walks, Pupil Voice and Book Looks
  • the use of parental feedback (parent's evenings, workshops, assemblies etc
  • the use of the School Improvement Plan- evaluating and RAG Rating impact.

We are also constantly reviewing our curriculum, evaluating the knowledge , skills and understanding that the children have gained and from this evaluating the teaching. This ensures that we are  constantly striving for improvement and ensuring that the our provision is the best that it can be.

Through this curriculum, and the careful management of it ,our children grow into resilient learners who show great pride in their work and ambition to do well at school. They articulate enthusiastically about their learning and enjoy opportunities to develop both academically and through the Personal Development provision. . At Lyndhurst we aim to make memories, shape the future and ensure that our children are ready for life.
