Curriculum
Our curriculum is focussed on 'Making a Difference' - to the school itself, the local community and the wider world. This is underpinned by our Curriculum Drivers - Vocabulary/Background Knowledge, Growth/Mindfulness, Initiative and Possibilities/Community - alongside key enquiry questions to extend the children's knowledge and understanding. We strive to promote a curriculum which imparts knowledge; fosters curiosity, encourages growth and use of initiative, is language rich promoting the acquisition of a wider vocabulary and a love of reading, and builds cultural capital.
We define our curriculum as the totality of a child's learning experience whilst they are with us, ensuring that they are secondary ready and their educational journey undertaken whilst at SPCEDS equips them for the next stage. Together at SPCEDS we are on a continuing learning journey to support the children, families and wider community that we serve. We firmly believe in supporting the children to develop the essential skills for life in an ever changing world.
