The Lime Wood Curriculum

Our school, as part of the Woodland Academy Trust aims to provide learners with an educational experience that provides them with the skills, knowledge and character to understand and contribute to the world they live in.

 

At Lime Wood Primary, we aim to give all children an exciting, innovative educational experience to support them to become the best learners they can be. We know our children will leave our school ready for the next stage of learning.

We have high ambitions for all of our learners, providing equity of opportunity for all. Our aspiration is for all children to leave our Trust with a sense of belonging to a tightly knit community where they have the confidence and skills to make decisions, make connections and become self-regulated learners. 

Wherever possible we look for meaningful opportunities across the curriculum for the children to make connections with their learning whilst not compromising on the knowledge they need to build upon. 

We use a core text approach and provide children with contexts which are rich in local history, as well as areas of geographical interest, and as a family of schools we strongly believe that our children should be aware of this in order to develop a love for where they live. We also want them to understand how where they live fits into the wider locality, e.g. London and beyond. Each theme therefore looks at local impact, before considering regional impact, the wider UK, and where appropriate, across the world.

We are proud of the work that is taking place with our educational offer across the Trust.  We have been working with Apple to develop the use of technology within our classrooms and we have been developing our continual professional learning with a focus on access to excellent resources.
