Our Curriculum

Our curriculum is created to equip our children for life at school, in the community in Heanor, Derbyshire and the wider world in the 21^st and 22^nd centuries. We are mindful that the youngest children in our school could be alive in 2113 in an ever changing world.

We have therefore created an approach to learning which supports the understanding of academic skills with clear British values and attitudes. We provide the children with real life connections and experiences to promote an understanding of the world around them, independence and high aspirations.  We strive to equip the children to be critical thinkers who are actively engaged with the challenges and opportunities of life in an ever changing world outside of the classroom.

Our intention is for our children to become lifelong learners in areas of personal interest and talent as well as informed citizens of the world in which we live.

This will be achieved through developing the school’s core values alongside the core beliefs of Embark Academy Trust and the National Curriculum knowledge which have then been linked to our school values and ethos.
