The Intent of the UoLAT Curriculum is to empower our pupils to flourish academically, socially, linguistically, morally and spiritually. Our Curriculum is the single best opportunity that we have to help our pupils flourish and improve their life chances.
The UoLAT Curriculum is the embodiment of the mission statement of the Trust ‘To transform the lives of our pupils and our communities by creating opportunities and experiences that enhance life choices, enabling them to be known and to flourish’. It is rooted in the Trust’s values of ambition, inclusion and integrity in the firm belief that all our pupils deserve an excellent, inclusive education. It is expertly designed, carefully curated and precisely sequenced by expert teachers working in collaboration with colleagues across the Trust and incorporating best practice from across the sector.
It is an ambitious, knowledge-rich curriculum, empowering our pupils with the ‘best that has been thought, said and written’. As they progress through the curriculum, our pupils know more and remember more of the powerful knowledge they need to succeed in school, in examinations and in the next steps in their educational journey.
It is an inspiring curriculum, engendering curiosity, enthusiasm and a love for learning and investing pupils with the values, confidence and resilience to contribute positively to their community, to society and to modern Britain.
It is a text-rich curriculum, enabling our pupils to communicate critically and confidently through reading, oracy and writing, delivering on the Trust’s ambition to ensure that every child in our schools will become a fluent reader.
It is a diverse curriculum, promoting inclusion, empathy and community cohesion, acting as a window to the full wonders of the world and a mirror in which our pupils can see their own lives and experiences represented, valued and respected.
It is an enabling and equitable curriculum, carefully meeting the needs of every pupil, regardless of prior experience or attainment and overcoming any educational, linguistic, socio-economic or demographic barriers to learning.
