Curriculum Statement

INTENT
We offer an inclusive, knowledge engaged curriculum that develops and challenges children’s understanding of the world they live in. We have developed a fully comprehensive curriculum framework that meets the requirements of the National Curriculum as well as additional curriculum enhancements which ensure the personal and social development of pupils through a wide range of additional experiences and opportunities.

IMPLEMENTATION
Our school values are intertwined and well embedded within our curriculum. We challenge children to think and enquire - making mistakes and asking questions is how we learn! We prepare children for a future in the modern and quickly changing world. At Red Oaks we nurture individual talents and allow children to experience a deep and rich journey through education, one that starts in their local area and local community and is expanded to an understanding of global concepts. Education at our school is rooted in consistent, quality delivery and equality of opportunities for all children in all subjects and wider aspects of school life. Children follow clear pathways of progression in knowledge, skills and vocabulary and use a rich variety of resources and learning styles to secure understanding.

IMPACT
We continuously monitor, review and take action to further develop, change and evolve the delivery, scope and effectiveness of our curriculum.

The TEEP Learning Cycle
At Redoaks we use the TEEP (Teacher Effectiveness Enhancement Programme) cycle to deliver lessons where appropriate. This cycle consists of the following:
  • Prepare to learn
  • Share learning outcomes
  • 'What, How Why?'
  • Present new information
  • Construct Meaning
  • Apply to Demonstrate
  • Review

This cycle may be seen in one lesson but more commonly over a sequence of lessons. These parts of the cycle are used as a guide for teachers to plan purposeful and stimulating lessons that engage pupils in learning.
