At KWS, our curriculum model is specifically designed to allow children to leave Primary Education as knowledgeable, resilient and independent learners.  Our curriculum model provides a framework that scaffolds learning and supports children in knowing and remembering more.

Our curriculum intent:

• PROVIDES a clear knowledge and skills progression informed by the National Curriculum which builds upon previous learning and supports future learning.

• ENHANCES learning experiences by linking learning across subject areas. This provides meaningful and holistic learning experiences.

• ENRICHES learning by linking topc areas to a comprehensive and varied residential and experiental knowledge program.

• BE (BEYOND EXPECTATIONS) Through a synthesis of declarative, procedural and experiential knowledge, children know more, remember more and build schema more effectively.

Our curriculum implementation:

• Is rooted in research that informs how the curriculum is structured. This allows children to commit their learning to long-term memory more often.

• Creates opportunities for holistic learning experiences through the synthesis of declarative, procedural and experiential knowledge.

• Builds on prior learning and informs future learning.

• Has a knowledge, skills and experiential progression from EYFS through to Year 6.

Our Curriculum Impact:

• Ensures that the child is the central stakeholder.

• Is quality assured through a combination of: indepdendent external, academy trust and internal monitoring.

• Is informed through the colection of a wealth of evidence

Below are some examples of what the foundation subject curriculum looks like at Kirkby Woodhouse School. Each discrete subject has a toolkit and knowledge/skills progression document.
