Curriculum Intent

Our Intent for the Curriculum in Key Stage 1 and 2

What pupils will learn, and how the curriculum is sequenced, at Bell Lane.

Philosophy

There are six underlying attributes at the heart of Bell Lane’s curriculum and lessons.

Lessons and units are knowledge and vocabulary rich so that pupils build on what they already know to develop powerful knowledge.
Knowledge is sequenced and mapped in a coherent format so that pupils make meaningful connections.
Our flexible curriculum enables teachers to tailor content to the Bell Lane context.
Our curriculum is evidence informed through rigorous application of best practice and the science of learning.
We prioritise creating a diverse curriculum by committing to diversity in teaching and teachers, and the language, texts and media we use, so all pupils feel positively represented.
Creating an accessible curriculum that addresses the needs of all pupils is achieved to accessibility guidelines and requirements.
