Here at Coads Green, we intend that children will experience an education that effectively prepares them for their next stage of education, for modern life and to be a positive part of their community.
We do this through the provision of a carefully planned curriculum that provides a broad range of rich experiences both over each academic year and across the pupils’ time in school.
Our curriculum is designed to develop academic knowledge, learning dispositions/characteristics and engage the pupils.
There is a strong focus on early reading and vocabulary development from the early years to ensure all pupils are confident readers.
The vision in our school drives all decision making with regard to the implementation of practice:
At Coads Green Primary School our VISION is a short, precise, agreed statement of intent setting out where the school aims to be. The vision is the ultimate goal for the school community and a vivid picture of what our school is trying to achieve in the future. Our aim is to provide high quality education for all our children, enabling them to reach their full potential by continually striving to find exciting and innovative opportunities for our pupils.
Our VALUES influence how we conduct ourselves in every interaction we have with others. Our values dictate our behaviours. Values are the means by which our school expresses its vision in daily life and opportunities. Our pupils are expected to be resilient, reflective, independent, curious and co-operative in their learning.
LIVED EXPERIENCE is the means to deliver our vision and values to the school community through everyday life. It encompasses the opportunities and knowledge that they gain from these experiences. (These are the practical tools to deliver the vision and values.)
Our Curriculum provision is focused on the local context – for example:
At Coads Green our distinctive characteristics are the whole school ethos of care, leading by modelled good practice, celebrating success and using values to drive the behaviour expectations in school.
We aim to have fully embedded the Capabilities Curriculum
Our revised curriculum will be consistently well taught and fully covered annually
Developing children’s understanding of their own place in the world and the positive impact they can have – we encourage courageous advocacy in their actions. We expect children to stand up for what they believe and we teach them about the rights of all.
We want our children to be critical thinkers who ask: ‘how do we change things for the better?’
The success of every individual matters. We include our families in their child’s education and value their role in securing success academically, socially and emotionally. We do not give up on any individual. We look always for ways to be better at what we do.
Every individual, regardless of their starting point is welcomed and wanted. We are aspirational for every pupil. We are inclusive and celebrate individuality.
We have a powerful focus on community. We expect all of our school to be part of this community and contribute to it positively.
We role model and live our vision daily from senior leaders, all staff and pupils. Much of the curriculum focuses on ‘impact’ We teach our children: ‘What you do matters!’
