Our Curriculum Vision
At Court de Wyck Church School our curriculum is child-centred', aspirational and purposeful in order to instil within our pupils the knowledge, skills and confidence need for their ever-changing futures.
Its focus is on nurturing pupils’ natural curiosity and love of active learning, supporting them to develop resilience and understanding of the world around them. It encourages pupils to make connections and to be creative, independent thinkers who relate their learning to real- life experiences.
At the heart of our curriculum are our values and ‘crew’- working together and achieving more than we thought possible.
