Our Elloughton Vision:
For children to know more and be able to do more.
Curriculum
The curriculum at Elloughton is exciting, inspiring and knowledge-rich!
Curriculum Intent
Our engaging curriculum provides our children with the skills, knowledge and understanding they need to become well rounded individuals who are able to confidently make informed decisions and positive contributions to local and national life. It is rooted in our school values.
We are fully committed to providing a broad and balanced, engaging, progressive, relevant and challenging yet supportive curriculum that can be tailored and personalised to include all of our pupils.
Our Curriculum Design
The National Curriculum provides schools with a clear programme of study for all schools to follow. At Elloughton, we see this as a starting point for our own bespoke curriculum to meet the needs of our learners.
With our children and moral compass in mind, our subject leaders have carefully planned a coherently sequenced curriculum that continuously builds and develops knowledge. Leaders continually consider the crucial knowledge that children need to learn in order to achieve the end goals of their education at Elloughton. To enhance our children’s cultural capital, teachers carefully consider how they can embellish each unit by inviting visitors into school and planning educational visits.
Learning occurs when there is an alteration in long-term memory. All subjects are taught regularly, if not weekly, to maximise knowledge retention. We use a range of teaching activities that implement each subject most effectively. We know that children remember more when they are given the opportunity to retrieve and rehearse prior knowledge. We use several high challenge, low threat methods that allow for retrieval practice including the leitner system and multiple choice quizzes. We know children have made progress when they are able to remember more, do more, understand more and communicate more.
