The All Saints Curriculum
Statement of Intent
We believe that every child has the right to achieve regardless of their starting point. We are steadfast in our vision that the quality of education we deliver removes barriers, improves life chances, and supports equality. At the heart of our curriculum is the essential knowledge and skills pupils need to shape and realise their aspirations.
At All Saints Academy we aim to:
- ensure a broad and balanced curriculum that prepares students for life, and unlocks future pathways into further education, training and employment.
- provide a curriculum that meets the needs of all pupils, ensuring appropriate support, stretch and challenge.
- plan a well-sequenced and coherent curriculum that supports the progressive development and consolidation of interconnected knowledge through high quality teaching and learning, every lesson, every day.
- deliver an engaging and inspiring curriculum that empowers pupils to achieve their true potential.
- enhance the curriculum to nurture an intrinsic passion for learning; support personal, social, spiritual, emotional development; inspire creative and critical thinking; and improve independent study skills.
- establish equality and diversity throughout an inclusive curriculum that represents and empowers pupils to be confident, proud, productive citizens in their local, national and global community.
- offer a range of enriching activities to develop student experience beyond the academic and encourage wider participation and engagement.
During their five years with us we will nurture young people to embody our core values of wisdom, community, kindness, sustainability and responsibility. By the time they leave us, our young adults will be adaptable, creative and resilient, equipped with the knowledge and skills required to Live Life to the Full.
Curriculum Content
The All Saints Curriculum is specifically tailored to the needs of our pupils, and the demands of the context that we serve. Using the National Curriculum as a minimum benchmark, and informed by leading subject-specific research, the curriculum of each subject has been careful curated and sequenced to ensure pupils are best prepared for the challenges, both academic and holistic, they will face in later life.
The planning for each curriculum is outlined in the documents available below. These documents consist of:
- Long Term Plan: These documents outline overall aims and objectives for each of the three 12-week module pupils study throughout the year. This high-level document includes the key considerations for each module, including the Knowledge and Skills, sequencing considerations, applications to our local context, extension opportunities (Flourishing Futures), links to our Christian Ethos, and career links.
- KS3 Assessment Frameworks: Each module is assessed via a Mid-Term Assessment, which is used internally to aid planning and intervention, and an End of Module Assessment. This grade, graded against our four point scale (Working Towards, Working Towards Plus, Age Expected, and Working Above). The KS3 Assessment Frameworks outlines the marking rubric for each Module, providing granular details on the knowledge and skills being taught.
- KS4 Assessment Statement: Assessment in Key Stage 4 continues to be intentionally planned, and these Assessment Statements outline the timing and nature of the summative assessment pupils complete during the two-year course.
