A Curriculum That Grows With Your Child

We follow a spiral curriculum, meaning key ideas and skills are revisited and built on year after year. This helps learning feel secure, positive and manageable while still challenging pupils as they grow.

Our curriculum is rooted in Lincolnshire’s people, places and stories. By working closely across our different campuses, we create a curriculum that is meaningful, local and designed especially for our pupils.

Learning Through Enquiry

Each term, pupils explore a big enquiry question. This approach links different subjects together and encourages curiosity, problem‑solving and creativity. It also strengthens our CARE values:

• Community: learning together and understanding the world around them
• Aspiration: aiming high and exploring new possibilities
• Resilience: practising, trying again and building confidence
• Empathy: seeing things from another person’s perspective

Farm and Outdoor Learning

Outdoor learning is a central part of our curriculum. Pupils regularly learn on our school farm and in natural spaces. These experiences support wellbeing and build practical skills such as teamwork, responsibility and care for living things — all closely linked to our CARE values.

A Broad and Ambitious Curriculum

Our curriculum builds on the National Curriculum but is adapted so every child can succeed. We want all pupils to develop:

• Knowledge (knowing about the world)
• Skills (knowing how to do things)
• Positive learning habits such as resilience, curiosity and independence

Everything we teach is designed to help pupils move confidently into the next stage of their education — and into later life.

Personal Development and Life Skills

Life skills and PSHE are taught across the whole school. Pupils learn:

• how to keep themselves safe
• how to stay safe online
• how to build healthy relationships
• how to understand and manage emotions

We teach Relationships and Sex Education in line with government guidance, at a level appropriate for each child.

We know pupils develop emotional awareness at different speeds, so we provide enrichment experiences that help them grow in confidence and understand others. Through topics linked to tolerance, responsibility and culture, pupils practise Empathy every day.

Supporting SEMH Needs

Our curriculum is designed with SEMH needs at its heart. Learning is structured, flexible and supportive to help pupils feel safe and confident. By revisiting ideas and celebrating achievements, pupils strengthen their Resilience and learn to believe in their ability to succeed.
