Curriculum Intent

At Ravensdale, we aim to offer a school learning journey that is exciting, engaging, inspiring and inclusive, empowering our pupils to think independently and learn collaboratively.

All our teaching and learning is built around meeting and further exploring the requirements of the National Curriculum for Key Stages 1 and 2 (2014) and the Early Years framework (2021 update) in EYFS.

At Ravensdale Primary School, we have recently adopted a more discreet approach to subject based learning that not only ensures we address all aspects of the National Curriculum but engages and interests our children in a unique way.

So, what is the intent of our curriculum overall?

To excite and enthuse learners and teachers
To inspire stimulating learning environments
To develop our five school values as character traits for all
To create purposeful, immersive and memorable learning
To ensure subject level cohesion, where current and prior learning are connected and built on systematically, improving skill and knowledge progression throughout our school
To explore strong learning links between skills and knowledge across the full curriculum
To support pupils in exploring challenging global and social justice issues
To value, support and celebrate cultural diversity
To help pupils understand their place in the community, and the world, so that they might understand their own worth and the worth of others
To empower pupils and boost their confidence
To allow pupils to show and enjoy their learning and understanding in multiple ways
To ensure inclusivity through the delivery of a well planned, accessible and relevant curriculum overall
