Landscove Curriculum

Landscove Curriculum Statement
 
Empowering our pupils sits at the very heart of our curriculum design.  We are passionate that every child who leaves any of our schools does so with a complete sense of self; with an ability to make informed decisions that reflect their own values and beliefs; a knowledge of where they sit in the world and the impact they can have.  Curiosity is nurtured at every turn as we recognise that we are preparing our children for a future that will be vastly different to our current reality – a child who understands themselves will be well equipped to make choices that impact positively on themselves, others and their environment.

Building and reflecting our communities is an integral part of our thought process and we look to ensure our pupils recognise where they sit and the impact they can have on a local, national and global scale.  Tolerance and an ability to recognise the views of others sit centrally to our curriculum ethos.  In teaching children explicitly to articulate their views with respect, we recognise that every small moment and interaction can support them in developing a responsibility for their choices; where this sits with their own values and their impact on the world around them.

Our curriculum seeks to develop ambitious attitude for every pupil to place them in a position whereby their future choices are theirs to make.  In considering a clear progression in skills, knowledge and experience, we equip children to be aspirational and the best possible version of themselves.

We are a school that is built on success stories; some big, some small, some public but most private. The message is simply that we want all the children to feel the warm glow of success and be motivated individuals who are constantly striving to unlock their potential to do exceptional things.

Our curriculum has been designed making best use of our unique staff and their varying experiences and skills, our children’s passions and interests and the passions of our families who often share their expertise with us. We have many distinctive attributes; most significantly, our local community and rural location; not far from moorland or coast. We make the best use of our outdoor spaces including our Wild Woodland Learning area, school garden, our local beaches, Dartmoor and enrichment through our 5 star core offer.

Our School Values are the bedrock upon which our curriculum is built. They enable us to live out our school vision every day. Our core values (Respect, Responsibility, Perseverance, Trust, Empathy & Forgiveness) are elements of our character that we feel are vital to ensure we are the best version of ourselves and are ready to make a meaningful difference to the world around and beyond us. Children are empowered to have a voice and make a difference. They know that what they say is valued and will be listened to and considered. Our values are part-and-parcel of our curriculum design and feed into all that we are and all that we do.
