Meridian Angel Curriculum

Intent Statement

Our intent is:

For pupils to have rich and varied experiences equipping them to be members of our community in school and beyond.

For our school values of hope, resilience and friendship to be integral to our curriculum.

For pupils to build on their knowledge year on year and to develop their skills and critical thinking.

For the curriculum to be inspiring, engaging and meaningful allowing pupils to make connections between subjects leading to deeper imbedded learning.

For pupils to develop character and take part in our Aspirations and Meridian Angel College programmes to equip them with the skills for life beyond school.

All subject leaders have training to develop their own subject knowledge, skills and understanding. This enables them to support curriculum development and collaborate with their colleagues across the school. Theme weeks, challenges, event days and whole school activities and opportunities within and outside school all enrich and develop the children’s learning.

Our outdoor space is constantly being developed so it can enrich different curriculum areas and to enhance our surroundings and the wellbeing of our whole school community. Our woodland walk and habitats area is currently being developed and our allotment is a place where children can grow and eat the food they nurture. Over the course of this year, we have planted 300 sapling trees and nearly 200 wildlife bushes.

Our school vision is that our Christian community gives each and every child the opportunity to lead their lives with hope and resilience, whilst building lasting friendships
