Our Curriculum
At RJS, we are proud to provide a high quality, creative and challenging curriculum that is inclusive and ambitious for all. We aim to create a culture of daring learning and high expectation, which is fostered within a safe, caring and happy environment.
This will enable all children to achieve their full potential: developing both academically and socially. Children will leave RJS as lifelong, independent learners, who take responsibility for their education, feel a sense of belonging as local and global citizens and are keen to play a positive role in society.
We aim for our curriculum to be one that develops knowledge, is inclusive, challenges pupils so they never give up and daring. It is our ambition that children will be:
Knowledgeable |
Inclusive |
Never Give Up |
Daring |
|
Our curriculum intent is designed to equip our pupils with the essential knowledge and skills necessary to prepare them for their future academic and personal pursuits, while also promoting their social and emotional development. Our curriculum is knowledge based and has been carefully sequenced so that subject knowledge is built on prior knowledge and becomes more complex each academic year. At RJS, we pride ourselves on the high level of subject knowledge and expertise our teachers bring to the classroom. |
Inclusion creates a sense of belonging in society, meaningful relationships, and opportunities to achieve dreams. At RJS, we recognise and celebrate diversity through valuing each person for their uniqueness and nurturing and developing their gifts and potential. We aim to ensure children see themselves represented through our curriculum. We aim to teach all pupils the skills they need to become independent, resilient and lifelong learners, with the ambition and determination to reach their full potential. Inclusion is not one-size-fits-all, and will look different for each student based on each individual’s desires and needs. |
Our curriculum allows pupils to take responsibility for their life-long learning - even when it is tricky. |
Our daring and ambitious curriculum enables all pupils to develop the essential knowledge, skills and understanding to ensure they are ready for the next stage of their learning journey. The curriculum is designed to be broad and balanced using the National Curriculum. The curriculum is carefully sequenced and layered such that new learning is supported by existing knowledge and understanding. Our curriculum is enriched by our ambitious use of technology which promotes curiosity, creativity and engagement and helps prepare our children for life and work in an increasingly digital future. Our curriculum at RJS enables our pupils to leave here, ready for the next stage of their education and with an appreciation and love of learning. |
