Our Curriculum
At St Stephen Churchtown Academy, our curriculum aims to give children the knowledge, skills and understanding to achieve to their full potential academically, socially and emotionally. This takes place in the context of a safe and nurturing school environment, where each child’s learning journey is unique to them.
Our curriculum is designed around 4 key pillars: Reading, Vocabulary, Aspirations and Resilience
Intent
*All children have highly positive attitudes and are motivated with a high-level of engagement, building a life-long love of learning.
*A coherently planned and sequenced knowledge-engaged curriculum that alters pupils' long term memory so they experience more, know more and can do more.
*An ambitious curriculum that is specifically designed and enriched with cultural capital to meet the interests of our pupils' background and experience, reflecting the local context and raising aspirations for all.
Implementation
*Teachers have a firm and common understanding of the school's curriculum and what it means for their practice.
*Subject leaders actively consider, review and develop the pedagogy, planning, sequence, delivery and outcomes for all learners.
*Reading is prioritised enabling pupils to access the full curriculum offer.
Impact
*Behaviour and attitudes are excellent with pupils actively supporting the well-being of other pupils, contributing to the life of the school and wider community.
*Pupils gain knowledge and skills for future learning and employment.
