Curriculum

At Somerdale Educate Together, we believe that children who have curiosity and think creatively and independently are more likely to be prepared for the next stages of their learning.

Our Curriculum Intent

Our Curriculum Intent is to inspire and teach our children through our core binding principles that by learning together we learn to live together.

• Equity and Inclusion – All children have equal rights of access, and children from all social, cultural and religious backgrounds are equally respected.
• Child-centred – children are placed at the heart of every decision and activity.
• Aspirational – all children are given the opportunity to explore the full range of their abilities.
• Collaborative – children’s views are actively encouraged
   

Through an enquiry approach, our curriculum is responsive. We nurture, develop and build on children’s interests and passions; make links to their local environment so that learning is relevant, lifelong and builds the broad skills and knowledge for the world ahead.

With an ethical focus in which children learn about rights, through rights and for rights, our children have the confidence to question the world around them, allowing them to be active participants to shape their community. Our children are stewards of the environment, developing strong core moral values which celebrates openness, diversity, and equity.
