Our Curriculum

The Cutteslowe Curriculum

At Cutteslowe, we believe that learning is limitless. We strive to develop passionate, engaged, independent learners who are well prepared to make sense of the world around them and become active members of their local and global community.

Through a carefully crafted approach to learning each Subject Leader has identified knowledge and skills that will be taught progressively and developed throughout a child's journey at Cutteslowe. Our curriculum focuses on all aspects of a child’s development including physical and mental wellbeing, emotional literacy and communication skills.

Implementation

At Cutteslowe we believe learning is limitless and we seek to harness a child’s natural curiosity to support their learning. There are 5 key priorities for our new curriculum:

1. There is breadth and depth. Through exploration of the backgrounds of our pupils, our belief in high quality education and our school values we are developing a curriculum focused on Cutteslowe School and our children.
2. The curriculum is challenging and inclusive. All children, regardless of background or ability, will be able to access and enjoy a broad range of learning activities focused on developing their skills and knowledge.
3. There is real progression within each year and as children move up through the school. Learning is planned with the National Curriculum and will be sequenced to build skills and knowledge in the medium and long term.
4. The development of long term knowledge and high level skills is prioritised as children move through the school. This includes learning knowledge and skills in depth and then builds on what a child knows to expand and extend their understanding.
5. Regular formal and informal assessment, alongside the marking and feedback policy, will be used to establish learning expectations, measure progress and help to plan future learning.
