Curriculum
The curriculum at Elloughton is exciting, inspiring and knowledge-rich!
Curriculum Intent
Our engaging curriculum provides children with the skills, knowledge and understanding they need to become well-rounded individuals who can confidently make informed decisions and contribute positively to local and national life. It is rooted in our school values. We are fully committed to providing a broad, balanced and engaging curriculum that is progressive, relevant and challenging, while also being supportive and inclusive for all pupils.
Curriculum Design
The National Curriculum for England provides schools with a clear programme of study. At Elloughton, we use this as a starting point to design our own bespoke curriculum that meets the needs of our learners. With our pupils and moral compass at the centre of our planning, subject leaders have created a carefully sequenced curriculum that builds knowledge over time. Leaders continually review the key knowledge and skills that children need in order to achieve the goals of their education at Elloughton.
To enrich learning and develop children’s cultural capital, teachers enhance each unit through educational visits, visitors to school and a wide range of experiences.
How Children Learn
Learning takes place when knowledge is stored in long-term memory. All subjects are taught regularly, often weekly, to support knowledge retention. Teachers use a range of effective teaching approaches and provide opportunities for children to revisit and practise prior learning. Retrieval activities, including quizzes and questioning, help children strengthen their understanding.
We know children are making progress when they can remember more, do more, understand more and communicate their learning with increasing confidence.
