Curriculum Overview

At Laurel Park School we are committed to all students having a quality education that is underpinned by an ambitious academic curriculum and is supported by a range of personal enrichment and super curricular opportunities, with our overall aim to develop well rounded young adults, ready to tackle the world. All students will acquire deep and meaningful  knowledge across their subjects, whilst also securing key skills to be able to apply their knowledge in a range of contexts.  All students and staff are expected to be able to communicate the narrative of what is being taught, why it is being taught and how it is being taught.

 

It is imperative that students at Laurel Park understand their learning in relation to the wider world we live in and part of our commitment is to develop leaders who are fully prepared for 21st century life.

 

English, Maths, Literacy and Numeracy are the foundations to access to the curriculum.  At Laurel Park we celebrate each individual’s identity and learning needs and therefore are committed to ensuring that the curriculum meets the needs of all students who attend our vibrant school. It is our job as teachers and support staff to ensure that all students are able to access the curriculum and to maintain the moral purpose of equality for all. Additionally, we have a commitment to the arts and sports and recognise the value and skills they add to a person’s character.

 

Likewise here at Laurel Park we ensure that learning sequences are developed that build on prior knowledge and skills so that students are fully prepared and confident by the time they sit their exams in year 11.
