WILSHERE-DACRE JUNIOR ACADEMY CURRICULUM

At Wilshere-Dacre, we provide a rich curriculum that stimulates and excites positive models of enquiry, reflections, challenge and innovation. The children learn and achieve through interactive teaching, experiences and opportunities which develop independence and resilience, preparing them for their future in the modern world. Our fundamental values lie at the heart of our curriculum. We nurture and support all children in achieving their academic and personal potential. We celebrate diversity and value and recognise the unique and distinct character of every member of our school family. We believe every child can ‘Be extraordinary’.

Our curriculum delivers a cumulative sequence of knowledge and skills, building upon prior knowledge from the previous term and year. We value robust assessment for learning identifying children’s gaps in their learning. Our curriculum can then be adapted to ensure these are targeted and the building blocks for future learning are secured.

In order to keep parents and carers fully informed of the school curriculum, we send out topic webs at the beginning of each half term. This information will give general information about the subject area, a brief overview of the learning the children will experience and a summary of the key learning areas. These can also be found on the individual class pages.
