# Curriculum

#### Whole School Curriculum Intent

Our curriculum creates academically competitive students in Tameside. We offer high academic, vocational and technical ambition for all students, enabling them to succeed in school and beyond.

In doing this, we ensure we:

- Provide a sequenced, knowledge rich curriculum where students know more and remember more
- Enrich our students through a diverse and broad curriculum
- Develop vocabulary, reading and oracy strategies to challenge social disadvantage
- Embed opportunities to develop cultural capital
- Build independent, resilient thinkers

If you require any further information about our curriculum please contact Ms Sloan, Assistant Headteacher

Our curriculum covers a wide range of core and foundation subjects.

We dedicate substantial time to both core and foundation subjects.

Students have full access to a broad and balanced curriculum including the National Curriculum which is differentiated to meet pupils’ learning needs.

Our curriculum is designed to be challenging, appropriate to the students’ stage of development.

Our curriculum offers significant cross-curricula learning opportunities to ensure students make significant personal development.
