Growing, Believing, Succeeding
Curriculum Intent
The school’s vision is central to the curriculum. Sale and Davys curriculum addresses the requirements of the National Curriculum and is extended through an enriched curriculum which promotes the school’s vision of loving learning, remaining inquisitive, showing resilience and developing Christian values. Collective Worship and the schools house system are strongly interwoven into all aspects of the curriculum, giving children opportunities, responsibilities and experiences that will help them in later life. School leaders have ensured that the curriculum is broad and incorporates themed weeks such as ‘Arts Week’, ‘Science Week’, ‘Sports Week’, ‘Fair Trade’ Week and ‘Global learning days.’ These all help to address gaps in pupils’ knowledge and skills and equip pupils with the education they need, within the context of their local area i.e. water safety, Bikeability, global learning and mental health awareness to enable pupils to succeed in life. The curriculum is fully inclusive for all children and provides challenge for the more able. Progression grids are in place for all subjects and these clearly state what children need to know by the end of the year and key stage. Medium term plans consist of a sequence of lessons that build on what has been taught before and have clear learning outcomes which will be built upon in future learning experiences.
