Statement of Intent
As a school we recognise that many of our children come from some of the most deprived areas in the country. However, we have specific aspirations for our pupils and many of these revolve around the fact that we will never accept that where a child starts determines where they will finish in education or in life.
We aim to follow the National Curriculum. We believe it gives our pupils the knowledge and skills they need to be successful.
Within DT :
- We aim to inspire pupils to be innovative and creative thinkers
- We want pupils to have a wider understanding of how things work and how they themselves can make things work
- We aim for pupils to develop the confidence to take risks -to try things – to persevere and then change their approach if needed in order to become successful.
- We want pupils to be able solve problems
- One of our curriculum drivers is OPPORTUNITY. We aim to create opportunity specifically for pupils that they may not be able to access outside of these walls.
