Woolston Brook School

Whole School Curriculum Intent Statement 

Intent 

This Statement of Intent underpins our Curriculum Overview document, our subject overviews and Learning journeys. When looked at together, they describe the curriculum offer to our pupils. 

Our Aim at Woolston Brook School is to provide an excellent education for all pupils; an education which brings out the absolute best in all of them and prepares them for success in life. Our curriculum is designed to provide our students with the core knowledge they need for success in education and later life, to maximise their cognitive development, to develop the whole person and the talents of the individual and to allow all our pupils to become active, culturally, and economically self-sufficient citizens. 

Our curriculum is broad based and balanced and enables pupils to appreciate and participate in the full richness of the human experience. Through our career's curriculum, our young people from KS2 (Key Stage 2) – KS4 are taught to realistically appraise their qualities and skills, roles and responsibilities, values, attitudes, and achievements, are better able to understand themselves, make informed choices and relate well to others. 

Self-awareness provides individuals with the foundation for enhancing their self-esteem, developing their identity, and achieving personal wellbeing. 

Our whole school learning journey prepares our pupils for the future and helps them make a smooth transition from school to college, apprenticeship, or the world of work. We adopt an Assess, Plan, Do, Review approach in each subject with every child.
