Vision

Together, we will provide a transformational education and rich opportunities which will enable our pupils to seize their potential as lifelong learners.

Curriculum Design 

The National Curriculum sets out the subjects taught as well as the knowledge, skills and understanding required in each subject. It also provides standards or attainment targets in each subject and these are used by teachers to help measure your child's progress and plan the next steps in their learning. In accordance with the law, the school curriculum meets all the requirements of the National Curriculum, plus the requirements for Religious Education set out by the local authority. The National Curriculum can be found here. 

The National Curriculum is a framework used to ensure that teaching and learning is balanced and consistent in Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. It seeks to build on the foundation provided by the areas of learning in the Early Learning Goals. In Early Years and Key Stage 1, phonics skills are developed through daily lessons, following the 'Read Write Inc.' programme.  

We believe in 'levelling the playing field' by providing equal opportunities for all. Our curriculum is designed to ensure that all pupils receive a transformational education and therefore leave our school with the knowledge and cultural capital to succeed. Our learners study the full breadth of the curriculum, which has largely been adopted from curriculum partners. The curriculum is designed to ensure it is knowledge-rich, academically ambitious, logically sequenced and designed to support memory. Alongside the academic rigour, we build cultural capital through an extensive enrichment programme to develop our pupils' confidence and resilience to thrive in the world outside the school gates. The transformational education and rich opportunities ensure that our pupils encompass our school values by becoming aspirational, resilient, independent, creative, reflective and collaborative learners.

Curriculum Delivery

The curriculum is driven by the leaders of the school through the embedding of long term curriculum overviews and medium term plans for every unit and knowledge organisers for many. We know that quality first teaching is the highest lever for pupil progress, and so we have high expectations for our teachers and pupils. Throughout their time at Roxbourne, pupils are expected to work hard and display excellent attitudes to learning in all lessons and teachers deliver rigorous lessons which support them to do so. Learning is maximised by familiar practised routines and clear behaviour expectations that support pupils to focus on learning. We use fortnightly incremental coaching, supported by the latest research, for all our teaching staff to ensure that they are equipped with all the strategies to deliver lessons that embed knowledge for life.
