Growing hearts & minds together

Eden Park Curriculum 

ENGAGE ,  ENRICH ,  EMPOWER

​

Our ambition is to provide an inclusive environment where every Eden Park child builds:

• a belief in who they are,

• a sense of belonging within their community and

• an aspiration to use their knowledge, skills and understanding to be the best they can be in the wider world.

​

Our broad and balanced curriculum inspires our children to take ownership of their learning, making connections with the past, understanding the present and enabling them to make a positive difference to the future.

 

At Eden Park we aim to :

​

Engage:

We engage children in a stimulating and creative curriculum, providing a safe and secure learning environment where all children confidently embrace challenge.

​

Enrich:

We enrich the lives of every child through a meaningful and purposeful learning journey, which takes children beyond their immediate experiences to new and exciting opportunities.

Enable Enquiry:

We encourage children to be curious and ask their own questions, working collaboratively, creatively and independently to discuss and discover possibilities.

​

Empower:

We empower our children to become resilient, responsible and active members of the community , using their voice to make a positive contribution to an ever-changing society.

​

Our curriculum is designed to support the needs of our children through:

​

• narrative and texts at the heart of learning to enable children to make sense of their own story in the context of others and the world around them;

• high expectations and challenge;

• a progression of knowledge and skills that are revisited in different contexts to support their long term memory;

• weaving key concepts throughout the curriculum to help children make connections within and across different subjects;

• fostering a genuine love of reading for pleasure and purposeful enquiry;

• developing children who can express their views, communicate their needs, listen and respond to the ideas of others;

• improving learning processes,  gaining a sense of control over how they learn leading to the development of a growth mindset.

​

Having experienced our curriculum Eden Park children will leave as:

​

• learners who have an internalised set of values that guide them in good behaviour and ethical decision-making;

• citizens who have respect for themselves and others by following the Eden Park Academy code of conduct;

• resilient learners and confident communicators who are self-motivated and keen to embark on the next learning journey.
