Our curriculum provides the children at George Romney Junior School with a broad, balanced and relevant educational experience.
The world is a diverse, rapidly changing entity with a vast range of people, places and ideas to explore and understand. Here at George Romney, we have sought to develop a curriculum that exceeds the National Curriculum framework and broadens the minds, expectations and aspirations of the children and the families here at our school. Our aim is to create as many memorable learning experiences as possible for the children whilst ensuring we are also developing their independent and interdependent learning abilities through a range of experiences in a wide range of contexts.
As well as developing skills and knowledge about our world and how to successfully live in it; our priorities also include:
Aspiration – we aim to provide experiences which motivate the children to grasp the wide range of possibilities for a positive future.
Inspiration – we aim to provide experiences which inspire a range of learning approaches: independence, resourcefulness, creativity, resilience as well as enjoyment!
Responsibiity – we aim to provide experiences which help the children develop a real understanding of their local, national and international environments as well as their role and responsibilities for improving them.
We have designed our curriculum to ensure strong academic progress as well as a deepening their spiritual, moral, social and cultural understanding of themselves and others in the world. A broad spectrum of enriching activities allow us to celebrate the different strengths of the individual children.
We want them to develop a sense of pride in their schievments. This in turn gives the children greater confidence and self-belief which we hope will enable them to live happy and fulfilled lives and make a positive contribution to our society, whilst achieving their individual goals and dreams.
We believe that progress is widening and deepening essential knowledge, skills, understanding and learning. We aim for all children to make strong progress during their time here with us at George Romney.
Our curriculum is successful because it sets high expectations for all children and the design of our curriculum allows staff to thoroughly explore different aspects of topics whilst also encouraging the review and revisiting of essential skills across the four year period.
Our curriculum and the teaching approaches used by all staff, ensure we are encouraging the use of higher order thinking to deepen and question their learning rather than simply acquire facts and information. We aspire to enable the children to form their own opinions, make their own informed decisions and apply this in later life.
At George Romney, we believe that every child should feel valued and experience the feeling of success in a wide
Our balanced approach to the curriculum is not at the expense of high standards. High expectations for all and supporting and enabling as many children as possible to reach the national expectations and beyond; is a fundamental role of the staff.
Our full and rich curriculum with its excellent range of experiences ensures that all children at George Romney make strong progress both academically and personally. It ensures they develop a fascination of the world and equips them with the abilities to learn for life either individually or collectively and be happy, proud individuals who make a positive contribution to their society.
