Curriculum

Academies should publish:

Learning Programmes: All pupils follow a Learning Programme (LP) in each subject. They detail the programme of study for each subject, setting out the core knowledge each child is expected to learn. All pupils follow the same Learning Programme. This means that all pupils are taught the same broad and balanced curriculum. The Learning Programme sequences the learning in a set period of time (7 or 8 weeks). It also outlines key words for each week and the homework which supports learning. It is really important that parents take an active interest in the learning that their child is experiencing. By following the Learning Programmes, parents can supplement the work being done in College through further enrichment activities or independent study.

Each Learning Programme builds on prior learning and outlines links with previous and future topics The teacher explains how the learning links with previous learning and supports the learning to come. Retrieval practice is built into the teaching and learning process.

It is expected that Learning Programmes are revised and updated each cycle in light of evaluation of their effectiveness and to reflect any changes in terms of content and gaps in knowledge.
