Curriculum
We believe that all students deserve to learn the very best of what has been thought and said.
At Ercall Wood Academy,
evidence based educational research informs the design and structure of our curriculum so that we can best support all our students’ needs. Our students experience a highly personalised, challenging curriculum, rich in variety and diversity, yet underpinned by our whole academy traditional values.
Empower Respect Aspire
Our knowledge rich curriculum is broad and balanced and is designed to help address social injustice by empowering all our students with the essential knowledge (the facts, skills, habits and experiences) and cultural capital that are commonly possessed by successful citizens. This essential knowledge enables our students to positively contribute to their community and the wider world. No child will be disadvantaged by our curriculum.
Our curriculum aims to engender equality and mutual respect in all our students. This is reflected in the respect they have for their community and the environment in which they are an integral part.
Our curriculum has high aspirations for everyone, regardless of their ability, gender, race, or background. We aim to instil a drive in our students to aspire to excellence, to become the very best that they can be.
The key principles of our curriculum
- To provide an ambitious curriculum for all students which develops the necessary range of essential knowledge for learning, life and work so that they are equipped for the next steps in their journey.
- To incorporate regular practice to strengthen memory and maximise cognitive learning to enable all students to succeed academically and socially.
- To inspire our students to succeed through the challenge and enjoyment of learning outside of the classroom by providing a wealth of extra-curricular clubs and experiences to further equip students with the essential knowledge and cultural capital they need to succeed in life.
Enrichment Opportunities
We believe that opportunities to bring the curriculum to life should be integral. We passionately believe that our students should sample a breadth of exciting new experiences to broaden their horizons, open doors of opportunity, provide hope and aspiration for all, regardless of their circumstances.
