English
We have developed the English Curriculum to fit with our school tag line ‘Students of today, Citizens of tomorrow’.
In choosing our core texts, we wanted to make sure the content reflects our cohort and supports them to face the issues they are currently facing, and will continue to face into adulthood. There is a focus on exploring material dealing with displacement and refugees (The Boy at the Back of the Class Y5, The Crossing in Year 8) and diverse perspectives (Mama Miti, Freedom 1783 Year 6, The Tempest Year 7) Through attending Prevent Training, we have established that far-right groups are the biggest presenting risk in this area, so these units attempt to address this. We also explore British Values through Shackleton’s Journey (Y6) and War Poetry (Y8).
