Step 3: Maximising opportunities for challenge and inclusion 

Pupils are supported and challenged, within a safe and secure learning environment, to provide them with the necessary knowledge and skills to explore and articulate their ideas and thinking. A deeper understanding and challenge, in all areas of the curriculum, is encouraged. Pupils are afforded the opportunity to broaden their knowledge and understanding through whole term topic based areas that foster a culture of enquiry and research. Our curriculum is driven by key questions, big ideas and the understanding that all of our learning is linked through experience, observation and connections which unite us with the wider world. In order to deliver a high level of challenge all staff are provided with quality professional development resulting in high quality teaching and learning that enables achievement for all pupils.
